I would like to draw list members' attention to a number of interesting items relating to research data management.
In this month's JISC Inform, there is a questionnaire which asks 'What’s your institution's research data management diagnosis?' This is an exercise which is both fun and informative and will give a useful diagnoses, pointing you in the direction of some DCC tools which may be appropriate.

JISC Inform also features an excellent clear and direct interview with the DCC's Director, Kevin Ashley, who talks about the importance of research data management and how the DCC Roadshows may help with stakeholder coordination and engagement.

The International Digital Curation Conference is fast approaching and will take place in Bristol on 5-7 December. See http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc11 for the programme and registration.
This year's keynote will be Ewan McIntosh, CEO of NoTosh, who will talk about the the open data landscape and public data opportunities. You may be interested in a short interview with him at http://www.dcc.ac.uk/news/idcc11-preview-interview-ewan-mcintosh
