The DCC is pleased to announce a number of new resources. The latest guide in our How-to series - How to Develop RDM Services - a guide for HEIs - and three associated case studies.
Issue 56 of the Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) Focus newsletter contains a number of intersting pieces relating to research data management.
A new Jisc funded study on the scholarly practices of academic chemists has been released by Ithaka S+R . The study covers themes such as data management, research collaboration, library use, discovery, publication practices, and research funding.
The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) and Digital Curation Centre (DCC) are delighted to announce a new issue of our joint newsletter ‘What’s New’.
The issue of disciplinary metadata standards - what they are, who's using them, how to use them - has been gaining attention in the RDM community. To support this, the DCC has created a Disciplinary Metadata page for those who need help figuring out what standards might address their own needs.
IDCC13 is now fully booked and we are looking forward to welcoming you all to the Mövenpick Hotel in Amsterdam.
The DCC is pleased to release a case study on the improvement of Research Data Management at Monash University. We're very grateful to Sam Searle, Anthony Beitz, Wilna Macmillan and Andrew Harrison for their input to this.
I'm very pleased to announce that we're able to make one final extension to the early bird booking rates for IDCC13 (the International Digital Curation Conference), and one final extension to the booking deadline. Both are now extended until January 2nd 2013.
Storage and the potential role of cloud and shared services are issues that arise regularly in the DCC's work with UK universities. We hope, therefore, that a forthcoming event we're planning in collaboration with colleagues in JISC and the JANET brokerage on storage service requirements will prove to be of interest to many.
