E-Science and Data Support Services: A Study of ARL Member Institutions
Soehner, Catherine; Steeves, Catherine; Ward, Jennifer
Association of Research Libraries
The Association of Research Libraries E-Science Working Group developed a survey to "build an understanding of how libraries can contribute to e-science activities in their institution" and "identify organizations and institutions that have similar interests in e-science to leverage research library interests." The August 2009 survey gathered 57 responses to the survey from the 123 ARL member libraries in the United States and Canada. Twenty-one respondents report their institution provides infrastructure or support services for e-science, 23 institutions are in the planning stages, and 13 do not provide support for e-science.This report presents a summary of the survey results and the six cases studies. It also includes a bibliography of related articles, reports, and Web sites, along with the survey instrument and a selection of recent research library position descriptions with significant e-science support components. Appended are: (1) The Survey Instrument; and (2) Recent Relevant Job Descriptions. (Contains 20 endnotes.)
