EResearch Network

This list of resources is curated by the Digital Library Federation (DLF) for the benefit of institutions involved in the planning and implementation of research data management services (RDMS). Participants of the DLF E-Research Network [1] program of the Council on Library and Information Resources [2] may find these helpful in developing and implementing RDMS.

If you would like to suggest a resource for inclusion on this page, send your suggestion to rvanduinen@clir.org. The DLF is currently seeking professionals from DLF member institutions who would like to participate in a curatorial group to develop and maintain the content of this page. Prospective volunteers for this group should also send expressions of interest to rvanduinen@clir.org.
