One of the biggest threats to our federal data resources is the loss of key staff to keep servers running, update files, provide access to data, and dozens of other hidden tasks.
So if you're asked how much it costs to provide access to federal data, remember it is definitely more than $10.

Thanks to Jill Lepore and @newyorker.com for the mention of #SaveOurSigns but we are more than a hashtag.
We are a coalition of librarians & researchers concerned about access to information. In this case, access to our NPS signs. Check out the archive of signs: saveoursigns.org

Ken Burn’s new documentary, “The American Revolution,” honors the dignity and meaning of the founding’s revolutionary ideals while taking an unsparing look at the war’s cruelties and costs, Jill Lepore writes.

@wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social magazine has a nice discussion of the impact of disppearing data on classrooms and researchers at the university. These kinds of stories are important for underscoring why public data is so important! Keep them coming!

I'm looking forward to more discussions & actions we can take with this new initiative. Safeguarding scientific data requires coordinated initiative across many sectors. @datarescueproject.org has been a critical component in building community responses, and there is still much to be done.
📢 Excited to share that COS has been awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to develop a community-driven strategic plan for ensuring long-term preservation, accessibility, and usability of federally-funded scientific data.

I was at @icpsr.bsky.social earlier checking for new releases and saw several new additions to DataLumos that were from yesterday's hackathon put together by the @datarescueproject.org and @rdapassociation.bsky.social folks. Not the worst thing to see at the start of a work day. ☺️
