Resources for Literacy Data Management

I hope you are enjoying the onset of spring as much as we are in Cleveland! I’ve collected a few resources for literacy data management on Delicious: http://delicious.com/tag/Data_Management_ProLiteracy?detail=3 If you use Delicious for social bookmarking, you can add your own resources using the tag: Data_Management_ProLiteracy Here’s what I have as of today (click the link above to see if there has been anything added):
