We expect to participate in improving standards and best practices for the general community, and also will focus effort on communication with the more specific agricultural research communities we serve. As a government agency we promote activities that align with federal data management policies. As a library we can contribute expertise in scholarly literature, thesauri, and preservation as well as access.
