The Library, in conjunction with General Research IT (GRIT), is offering a data rescue service on a pilot basis. Faculty and researchers can use this service to request that a federal or other dataset of research value to them that will soon be lost, or is thought to be at risk of loss, be archived locally.
Archiving of datasets will be coordinated with the Data Rescue Project. Datasets not already archived by another institution will be stored locally and made available by FTP. Datasets in the Earth and environmental sciences will be registered in DataONE and assigned DOIs to enable discovery and citation.
Our ability to archive datasets is subject to limitations of staff time and disk storage. Contact Library Research Data Services for more information.
