Lynda Kellam, the Snyder-Granader Director of Research Data and Digital Scholarship at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries and a co-founder of the Data Rescue Project, gave the keynote address at last month’s 2026 Research Libraries UK conference. She noted that “public data are a public good!” and engagingly showed why that’s the case, and why public data are essential to research, democratic accountability, and an informed public life. Thanks Lynda for this full-throated support for public data!
