The DCC is pleased to release a case study on the improvement of Research Data Management at Monash University. We're very grateful to Sam Searle, Anthony Beitz, Wilna Macmillan and Andrew Harrison for their input to this.
The case study accompanies our forthcoming How to guide on developing RDM infrastructure and services. It acts as an example of how one institution has addressed the various activities and components that need to be delivered.
I'm very pleased to announce that we're able to make one final extension to the early bird booking rates for IDCC13 (the International Digital Curation Conference), and one final extension to the booking deadline. Both are now extended until January 2nd 2013. We're able to do this because bookings have been so successful that we've covered our fixed costs and don't need the extra income that late booking fees bring. We're sharing our success with you and offering extended lower rates right up to the last possible moment.
If you missed IDCC this year or just want to follow up on some ideas you heard there, check out our conference webpage.
There are links to videos of the keynote presentations, tweets and blog posts. Let us know if you've blogged about the event and we'll add a link.
Several presentation slides are also now available through the programme.
