Next Generation Science Librarianship

Yesterday, I went to the "Next Generation Science Librarianship Panel Presentation." It was at the NCAR facility up in Boulder. Unfortunately, I could only stay for the first hour, but was able to hear from all three speakers:

• Dr. Jian Qin, Associate Professor, School of Information Studies, Syracuse University
• Jamaica Jones, Special Projects Librarian, NCAR Library
• Jack M. Maness, Assistant Professor and Director of the Engineering and Math-Physics Libraries, University of Colorado at Boulder

Some of the documents, reports and websites they mentioned were:

• http://eslib.ischool.syr.edu/(Syracuse University eScience Fellows Program)
• http://sdl.syr.edu/(Science Data Literacy (SDL) project)
• e-Science and its implications for the library community by Tony Hey, Jessie Hey
• Global Interdisciplinary Research by Daniel Atkins
• E-Science and Data Support Services: A Study of ARL Member Institutions, Aug. 2010 [PDF] by Catherine Soehner, Catherine Steeves, and Jennifer Ward
• Developing a Vital Research Library Workforce by Mark A. Puente, Director of Diversity Programs, ARL
• Using Personas to Understand the Needs and Goals of Institutional Repository Users, by Jack Maness, Tomasz Miaskiewicz, and Tamara Sumner

Happy reading!
