Information for Research Site Maintainers
Western Technology Service (WTS) is actively exploring an additional research storage solution (e.g. REDCap) for ACTIVE research data.
If your site is Research – Active Use:
You can continue to store ACTIVE research data in OWL Sakai beyond April 30, 2026, while the new solution is implemented. Maintainers of claimed active research sites will be included in communications about new research data solutions and will maintain access to active research data until the new solution is available.If your site is Research – Archive Only:
If your site is no longer active and only needs to be retained as an ARCHIVE, you must have exported content out of OWL Sakai by April 30, 2026.
One-on-one archiving support is already available through Western Libraries Research Data Management options. The WTS Helpdesk can assist with exporting content if needed.
