When we moved the (initially IMLS-funded) DataQ project to the ACRL Digital Scholarship Section in 2018, we decided that it was time for a new name to better reflect our mission and make ourselves more easily discoverable and identifiable. We obviously chose ResearchDataQ, which already happened to be part of our URL and our Twitter handle. For anyone not familiar with the earlier DataQ project, it operated primarily as a question and answer service. In the interest of documenting and preserving the history of that first phase of this project, a data set containing all of the questions we received from the community as well as the answers provided by our editors can be found here: https://doi.org/10.25810/8ST3-AN76

Now that we successfully transitioned to our new home in the ACRL Digital Scholarship Section, we are excited to bring some big changes to ResearchDataQ (formerly known as DataQ)! This fall we will be featuring a series of five editorials written by community members on a wide variety of topics related to research data support in academic libraries. Watch for more details soon!
