  1. Reinventing Science Librarianship: Models for the FutureArlington VA, Oct. 16-17, 2008 Reactor Panel: Supporting the Virtual OrganizationPanelists have been asked to pose questions for the speakers and audience to discuss and to highlight examples of services in support of virtual organizations. Medha Devare, Life Sciences and Bioinformatics Librarian, Mann Library, Cornell University D. Scott Brandt, Associate Dean for Research, Purdue University Libraries

  2. Thinking about things in new ways Curating Organizing Search & retrieval Sharing Navigating/browsing Cataloging Citing & Persistence Managing Publishing Rights Archiving Protection Standards

  3. Context: identifying needs through research • Purdue Libraries' interdisciplinaryresearch initiative distinguishes between research and service • Embed librarians in research to help scientists do new things, identify library science related issues/solve problems related to organization, access, etc. • Supporting VO equates to problem solving • Research collaborations critical to grow partnerships, participating in research projects, and forging new roles for librarians as services are developed • We learn needs by engaging in problems…

  4. Purdue Libraries supporting VOs Discovery Preservation Dissemination • a hybrid controlled vocabulary to lower barriers of participation for tagging resources/objects (blog posts, tutorials, tools, etc.) in discipline specific portal • accessibility of “small science” datasets by automating metadatato make sharing/ingesting easier • an OAI-PMH interface to expose metadata from a web enabled research database to harvesting • persistent identifier system (e.g. D.O.I.) for citing resources and preserving linkages that will not break

  5. Support: does it depend on the VO? • Single PI w/ grad student(s)Organization, Archiving • Campus wide center/groupAccess, Dissemination • Inter-institutional groupDiscovery, Rights

  6. Reaction How to define user community? How to redefine content? Library as computational centers Emphasis on computation over center? Librarian as middleware Develop systems and tools to bridge too? “Helping PIs do data curation” How open to education as partnership
