The Data Curation Network has been selected as a case study on research data management collaboration as part of OCLC’s Library Collaboration in RDM series. The DCN joins Portage and the Texas Data Repository in this project. DCN members have volunteered their time to serve as interview participants to discuss both the history of the DCN as well as the critical transition from grant- to member-funded. Read the full research project announcement. We will share more information and reports as we are able.

Participating in this project was voted on and approved by our Governance Board in February 2022.
