Libraries also show that it's possible to organize and credit the production of knowledge without reducing credit to ownership. Cataloging, citation, preservation, and circulation all make research more available as a public resource, not more exclusive as private property.

Identify a process for internally archiving data and projects that are no longer in active use 

Identify and implement a process to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) to microdata 

Prepare and upload public-facing datasets and restricted-use datasets for external sharing. 

Train staff on FAIR principles and best practices in data archiving. Education/Training/Experience

This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing.
Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin.
We need more stories about us and our culture.
You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.
