Internet Archive, Code for Science and Society, and California Digital Library to Partner on a Data Sharing and Preservation Pilot Project
In 2017, CDL joined Code for Science & Society (CSS) on the dat in the lab project. The Moore Foundation-funded project is currently piloting the use of the Dat Protocol in UC labs for data capture, data storage, and data sharing. As our first year comes to a close, the project team has started looking […]
Farewell CDL!
A little over two years ago, after an exhausting day of packing up our apartment in Brooklyn, I turned to my partner and said “Hey, remember when said I wasn’t going to do a postdoc?”. This was a joke, intended to offset the anxiety we were both feeling about our impending move across the country. […]
UC3’s Development Culture

Our development is driven by user-centered design by which product (service) managers gather the needs of our stakeholders and translate them into prioritized use cases. By placing the needs of stakeholders and users at the center of our analysis and design, we develop services and […]
Neuroimaging as a case study in research data management: Part 2
Part 2: On practicing what we preach Originally posted on Medium. A few weeks ago I described the results of a project investigating the data management practices of neuroimaging researchers. The main goal of this work is to help inform efforts to address rigor and reproducibility in both the brain imaging (neuroimaging) and academic library communities. […]
Neuroimaging as a case study in research data management: Part 1
Part 1: What we did and what we found This post was originally posted on Medium. How do brain imaging researchers manage and share their data? This question, posed rather flippantly on Twitter a year and a half ago, prompted a collaborative research project. To celebrate the recent publication of a bioRxiv preprint, here is […]
Skills Training for Librarians: Expanding Library Carpentry
In today’s data-driven, online and highly interconnected world, librarians are key to supporting diverse information needs and leading best practices to work with and manage data. For librarians to be effective in a rapidly evolving information landscape, training and professional development opportunities in both computational and data skills must be available and accessible. Over the […]
RFI for organizational identifier registry
Organizations/institutions are a key part of the scholarly communications ecosystem. However, we lack an openly licensed, independently run organizational identifier standard to use for common affiliation and citation use cases. To define a solution to this problem, a group of interested parties drafted and shared a proposal at last year’s PIDapalooza. Based on that discussion, earlier […]
Dat-in-the-Lab: Announcing UC3 research collaboration
We are excited to announce that the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation has awarded a research grant to the California Digital Library and Code for Science & Society (CSS) for the Dat-in-the-Lab project to develop practical new techniques for effective data management in the academic research environment. Dat-in-the-Lab The project will pilot the use of CSS’s Dat […]
