And just in case you tend not to read emails with fishy subject lines, my last message is about a project launching today, that would welcome your participation and support: Endangered Data Week.

We invite your participation in Endangered Data Week<http://endangereddataweek.org/>, a distributed network of events running from April 17th-21st, 2017:

endangereddataweek.org<http://endangereddataweek.org/>

Endangered Data Week is a new, annual, grassroots effort to:

  *   raise awareness of threats to publicly available data of all kinds, across sectors and disciplines;
  *   provide opportunities to explore the power dynamics of data creation, sharing, privacy, and retention;
  *   build community capacity by teaching ways to make #EndangeredData<https://twitter.com/search?q=%23EndangeredData> more accessible and secure.

Browse for online events and opportunities near you: http://endangereddataweek.org/map/ <http://endangereddataweek.org/map>

Nothing nearby? Please help make this first EDW a success by planning a gathering and adding it<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeTZ30rbBS5axmn-QpWZML_nEqT_bmiz9V2TiQYYTTQSsKUxw/viewform> to our list and map!

We especially encourage events that promote care for endangered collections by:

  *   publicizing the availability of datasets to diverse communities;
  *   increasing critical engagement with data, including through visualization, analysis, and storytelling;
  *   encouraging activism and advocacy for open data policies;
  *   fostering needed skills through workshops on data curation, documentation and discovery, improved access, and preservation.

Finally, we welcome contributions to our small supplementary collection<https://wiki.diglib.org/Endangered_Data_Week> of EDW resources.

Endangered Data Week is facilitated by a dedicated team of volunteers, including Brandon Locke and Jason A. Heppler, supported by the Digital Library Federation<https://diglib.org/> and in partnership with a new DLF interest group on Records Transparency/Accountability<https://www.diglib.org/archives/13609/>, led by Rachel Mattson. Additional supporters include DataRefuge<https://www.datarefuge.org/> and CLIR<https://www.clir.org/>.
