We'd greatly appreciate your feedback on this proposed new service via in-doc commenting (web version) or via email to the group at DCN-team at googlegroups.com.

We set out to develop a collaborative service that will allow institutions like ours to better support researchers faced with a growing number of requirements to ethically share their research data. The result is a cross-institutional staffing model for curating research data. With the Data Curation Network, institutional users (e.g., academic libraries, disciplinary repositories, etc.) will be able to provide critical new data curation services when local resources are limited (without needing to hire) and to expand the scope of their curation support to new and/or less frequently encountered data types. In our newly released report we share our next steps for launching the DCN.
