Remarks
The datasets available in <odesi> are available to individuals affiliated with OCUL member institutions only at this time. However, anyone can use the search functionality and freely available metadata to identify datasets of interest to them. They can then contact the data producer directly for information on obtaining access to the data. Non-OCUL members are welcome to contact us for assistance in contacting data producers.
