One of the goals of creating a LEARN community in Latin America and the Caribbean, is to provide a place in which people and organisations are able to share their knowledge and experiences, in order to find avenues of collaboration for the development of RDM.
ECLAC’s involvement in this project is via the Hernán Santa Cruz Library at the organization’s Santiago headquarters. The Hernán Santa Cruz Library has gained invaluable experience with data management through its Digital Repository, boasting more than 35,000 official publications, from 1948 until the present day. With the work of more than 8,000 authors in five languages, this fully open access archive is open to all users interested in learning about the Commission’s work, especially policy makers, researchers, scholars and students. In total, the official documents on file exceed 2.5 million pages.
