RIN (Research Information Network) past and present

Something to watch ... a new collaboration supporting digital literacy in research,

RIDLs 

The Research Information and Digital Literacies Coalition


This new group has been set up to bring together stakeholders in a variety of research, research support and library/information organisations.  Watch its progress here.

RIN (the Research Information Network) has changed in recent months, but there's a webpage listing some of their formative reports.  We have most of them here at the Whittaker Library in the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Catalogue link), but here are the links to the digital versions.  Quoting directly, with due acknowledgement to RIN:-

"Links to RIN publications 2005-2011

... reports and other publications produced by RIN in its previous incarnation during the period 2005 to 2011 ... listed in reverse chronological order.

RIN (Research Information Network) becomes Research Information Network

This sounds confusing, but it isn't really!

RIN was a publicly funded research and policy unit.  The initials stood for Research Information Network, and it ran from 2005-2011.  The Whittaker Library at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland holds a number of RIN's publications - see here

RIN's work is now completed.  As from January 2012, a new community-interest venture was set up.  It, too, is called Research Information Network, but it is NOT the old RIN.

So - RIN (www.rin.ac.uk) has become Research Information Network (http://www.researchinfonet.org/)
