Databib

Databib is a collaborative, annotated bibliography of primary research data repositories developed with support from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Databib is a tool for helping people identify and locate online repositories of research data. Users and bibliographers create and curate records that describe data repositories that users can search.

What repositories are appropriate for a researcher to submit his or her data to?
How do users find appropriate data repositories and discover datasets that meet their needs?
How can librarians help patrons locate and integrate data into their research or learning?

Databib attempts to address these needs for the research community, including: data users, data producers, publishers and professional societies, librarians, and research funding agencies.

Submit Repositories to Databib: Are you familiar with a data repository that isn't included in Databib? Please consider submitting a new record. You can suggest a repository for us to catalog by simply entering its title, URL, authority, and a subject for it... and we'll do the rest! (http://databib.org/submit.php). Databib Editorial Board: A Call for Editors (http://databib.org/editors.php) was issued on July 18, 2012.
