[Esip-preserve] Fwd: Datacure virtual meeting to discuss the Libraries+ Network

[Sophie Hou]

*Apologies from cross-posting*

Hi everyone,

The following announcement came from the DataCure listserv, and since the 
ESIP Data Stewardship Committee will be collaborating on a document 
regarding the topic of Data Rescue/Refuge,  perhaps the following webinar 
would be of interest.

Thanks,
Sophie
