Library Engagement with E-Science
Wendy Pradt Lougee, University of Minnesota
Neil Rambo, ARL Visiting Program Officer
Association of Research Libraries
Coral Gables, May 2008
E-Science Working Group AGENDA
• Education: programs, shared models
• Resources: glossary, talking points, policy/project inventories
• Research infrastructure: data access/management/preservation, systems/tools
• Policy: new publication models, open data

From Here to Enterprise:Major Gaps
• Infrastructure and Coordinated Services: central & distributed IT services, library
• Capacity that Scales to Demand – within institution, across institutions
• Leveraging expertise and aligning resources
• Economic Models: contrasting funding models, operating policies and practices across units
A Tale of 2 Institutions

Questions for Discussion• What are current and emerging service needs of
scientific communities?
• What are the challenges to serving multi-institutional research teams?
• Other useful models?
• What expertise is unique to libraries?
• What organizational structure works best to respond effectively to research teams?
• What knowledge/skills/abilities does a librarian need to be a member of a research team?
• What models are there for libraries to partner with CS/informatics R & D?
