Purdue University

The libraries of Purdue University and Penn State University will partner to create a new online information resource for research data producers, users, publishers, librarians, and funding agencies. This resource, Databib, will be an annotated online bibliography of research data repositories, created and maintained by an online community of librarians. Databib will be an important focal point for connecting librarians more closely with other research data stakeholders and demonstrating the significant contributions libraries can make to solving the challenges posed by digital datasets. The Databib platform will also serve as a testbed for linking, integrating, and presenting information about datasets in new ways.
