Welcome to ACCORD

The Academic Community for Coordinating On-line Resource Development

ACCORD's purpose is to locate and keep track of academic projects that are planning or conducting digital resource development, to support the sharing of expertise and experience among projects, to identify their common requirements and document their unique requirements--and to represent these needs effectively to digital systems and applications developers in order to promote more effective technology development in support of academic resource development.
