Data Access, Management & Sharing

Digital technologies and investments in cyber- and information infrastructure have fundamentally changed how science is conducted. This change was noted in the National Science Foundation’s Cyberinfrastructure Vision for 21st Century Discovery, which stated that “…converging advances in networking, software, visualization, data systems, and collaboration platforms are changing the way research and education are accomplished.” Central to this transformation is scientific data.

E-Science Institute

The DuraSpace/DLF E-Science Institute is offered to academic and research library audiences seeking opportunities to boost institutional support of e-research and the management and preservation of our scientific and scholarly record. The Institute includes ongoing communication with the ARL/CLIR Connect E-Science/E-Research Community—an interactive website for ESI participants to maintain contact with one another, the ESI faculty, and experts and professionals in the fields of information and library science to build a community of emerging practice.
