SUNY Fredonia is part of the SUNY Consortia membership of Dryad, a nonprofit organization and provider of a well-established open data repository that makes research data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable, made available through the Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS).

With the SUNY consortial membership, the standard $150 USD dataset publication fee is covered through 2023. Following the consortial coverage of deposit fees, Reed Library will manage the membership as part of its broad support for data-intensive research at Fredonia.
