Resources

This page provides links to relevant publications. In particular, the project leaders are focused on private and sensitive data in health science and medical libraries, archives and special collections in the United States. Some of the links below provide additional resources outside of that context. 

This page, and the Access Policies section in particular, will expand over the course of the project as we gather use cases.
