We've talked in the past about whether it makes sense to partner with SERC rather than hosting our own <a href="https://lternet.edu/education-digital-library/" target="_blank">Education Digital Library</a> and this is an opportunity to continue and broaden that discussion. There are clearly pros and cons, but they are interested in broadening their ecology resources and doing more with original data and this meeting presents an opportunity to engage directly with them and explore the options.</div><div><br></div><div><b>My question for you is: </b>who has used SERC -- either as a contributor or an end-user -- and what are your impressions of its strengths and weaknesses?
