The major activity of the Data Management & Curation Interest Group (SIGDMC) in the last year was the conceptualization, organization, submission, and offering of the June 2, 2014, morning workshop Data Management & Curation: Lessons from Government, Academia, and Research. It features seven invited presenters, and session and breakout group moderators from the SIGDMC membership, which also provided input on the breakout group topics.

As of May 26, 2014 SIGDMC membership is at just under 70, having been fairly steady over the year in terms of Google Group membership.

The Data Management and Curation Resources page on the IASSIST website has been reviewed and updated. The list now contains 59 resources; 9 new resources were added since May 2013. Minglu Wang, Limor Peer and Wendy Mann are responsible for this resource.

Progress was made in keeping the IASSIST blog active, however, we did not quite meet our goal of one blog per month.

The members who attend the annual IASSIST conference in Toronto have been invited to participate in an in-person meeting on June 4, where the election outcome of the successor of Carol Perry as co-chair will first be announced, and future goals for the group be discussed.**
