Erik Mitchell (UCSD Library) und Wolfram Horstmann (SUB Göttingen) vor der „Geisel-Library“ der University of California San DiegoUniversity of California San Diego Library and the Göttingen State and University Library extend their cooperation agreement after a successful first term from 2016 to 2019.

Staff exchange enabled the libraries to share expertise about supporting researchers on campus in data curation, to exploit complementary skills for mutual assessments of digital infrastructure, give trainings in digital humanities and experiment on transatlantic digital preservation.

In the next phase of the cooperation, the two libraries - both with a strong digital agenda - plan to work on the impacts that data-intensive research and education has on the libraries' portfolio for students and researchers and on the internal organization.
