Endangered Data Week - April 17-21, 2017
Endangered Data Week is a national series of independently-organized events intended to raise awareness of threats to publicly available data, discuss the power dynamics of data creation, sharing, and retention, and work to make endangered data more accessible and secure.

Join the kick-off Twitter chat
Mark your calendar for Monday, April 17th at 3pm Eastern and join us for a Twitter chat to kick off Endangered Data Week. @erik_radio and @nowviskie will be your hosts. Questions, which will be posted from the @CLIRDLF Twitter account, are listed below:
- Q1: How do you personally (or your community or organization) use or think about publicly collected/available data? #EndangeredData
- Q2: Are datasets that matter to you or the communities you serve under any kinds of threat? Which datasets? What makes them #EndangeredData?
- Q3: Does how we define data affect perceived risks? Can we think more broadly about data w/regard to rescue & preservation? #EndangeredData
- Q4: What signals or conditions alert you to datasets that might be at risk? What mechanisms are in place to monitor this? #EndangeredData
- Q5: What records or data trails can be used to document data that has been removed? What is needed to accomplish this? #EndangeredData
- Q6: Have you taken part in activities to preserve data or raise awareness of data stewardship? Doing anything for #EndangeredData Week?
Just follow @CLIRDLF and use the hashtag #EndangeredData to join in.
