"Over the past year, we have developed collaboration with Albert Mann Library in several ways. This collaboration has made it possible for achievements which would never have been possible without it. Many of these achievements have allowed us to move into a new culture of shared high quality data and high quality collaboration involving these data. At the same time, it has allowed us to begin to build an infrastructure for data storage, access and dissemination, which will be self-sustaining in the future."
