Around the Web: Saving Government Data from the Trumpocalypse – Confessions of a Science Librarian

lterrat's bookmarks 2017-01-22

Summary:

"While I’m working on a major update to my Documenting the Donald Trump War on Science: Pre-Inauguration Edition and preparing for the first of the post-inauguration posts, I thought I’d whet everyone’s appetite with a post celebrating all the various efforts to save environmental, climate and various kinds of scientific and other data from potential loss in the Trump presidential era.

The list only includes one or two items per project. Plus I’m very likely missing some. Please let me know in the comments so I can add ones that are missing.

It’s worth noting that libraries and libraries are closely involved in pretty well all the projects mentioned.

I’m also including some projects that are saving data about Donald Trump, his campaign and his presidency.

The Environmental Data and Governance Initiative is coordinating many of these events."
