The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) and the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) have signed an agreement to work together to identify and advance regional and national issues relating to the data discovery, management and digital preservation needs of the Canadian research community.
The agreement brings together research data management expertise from CARL’s Portage Network and digital preservation expertise from OCUL's Scholars Portal to work together on identifying areas of integration and interoperability across systems supporting research data in Canada.
The agreement will enable OCUL member institutions to assemble effective workflows for access to and preservation of research data, while at the same time leveraging this community's expertise to advance Portage's goal of building nationwide communities of practice related to the long-term preservation of research data. Consequently, CARL and OCUL will work together to enhance communications and cooperation for effective OCUL-wide engagement with Portage, especially for OCUL members who are not currently CARL members. The agreement will also help to foster ongoing collaboration between Portage and OCUL's Scholars Portal service in important areas such as long-term preservation storage, data management and publishing services such as Dataverse, and data discovery.
