Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research Libraries
Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research Libraries (ID: CSD5299)
Source:ARL Scholarly Communication Steering Committee
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (11/28/2007)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:

This is the Final Report and Recommendations to the Scholarly Communication Steering Committee, the
Public Policies Affecting Research Libraries Steering Committee, and the Research, Teaching, and Learning Steering Committee.

E-science has the potential to be transformational within research libraries by impacting their operations, functions, and possibly even their mission. Recognizing this potential, the ARL Steering Committees for Scholarly Communication and for Research, Teaching, and Learning jointly appointed a task force in 2006 to address the emergent domain of e-science. The Joint Task Force on Library Support for E-Science focused its attention on the implications of trends in e-science for research libraries, exploring the dimensions that impact collections, services, research infrastructure, and professional development. Priorities of government funding agencies further shaped the task force's work.

An Interview with Microsoft's Tony Hey
Created by Matt Pasiewicz (EDUCAUSE) on December 12, 2005

In this 21 minute recording, I sit down with Tony Hey, Microsoft's VP for Technical Computing.

Let's listen in as he compares e-science research in the US and UK, talks about the prospects of multicore computing, shares his thoughts on the NSF's cyberinfrastructure report, and sheds some light on the challenges of working with very large, high throughput datasets ... the raw materials of research. 

He also briefly touches on the UK's Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute (OMII) and as well as their Digital Curation Centre  ... an attempt to bring scientists, computer scientists and librarians together to to tackle issues involvingcuration and preservation of massive amounts of data.
