Final cross posting from me this evening! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Rusbridge Sent: 19 November 2008 11:50 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [dcc-associates] Research Data Management email list created
At JISC's request, we have created a new list to support discussion amongst those interested in management of research data. The list is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and can be joined at http:// www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/RESEARCH-DATAMAN.html. The list description is: "List to discuss the data management issues arising in and from research projects in UK Higher Education and its partners in the UK research community and internationally, established by the Digital Curation Centre on behalf of the JISC." I was specifically asked not to include the word "curation" in the description, in case it frightened people off! And yes, it's already been hinted to me that the list-name is sexist. Honest, it really was just short for research data management. But you knew that (;-)! I'm a little concerned that the list's aims overlap with those of the DCC Associates list, but I do agree that creating a discussion forum for this issue is well worthwhile. Traffic on this list has often been low too, and topics have not been limited to data management. I guess you'll know which one to use, if you choose to sign up. Not much traffic yet, but this is the first time it has been publicised.
