  14. From Here to Enterprise: Major Gaps • Infrastructure and Coordinated Services: central & distributed IT services, library • Capacity that Scales to Demand – within institution, across institutions • Leveraging expertise and aligning resources • Economic Models: contrasting funding models, operating policies and practices across units

  15. A Tale of 2 Institutions MINNESOTA • Behavioral assessment • Research Cyberinfrastructure Alliance • Libraries e-science collaborative • Defining new liaison roles WASHINGTON • Assessment of biosciences • Director of Cyberinfrastructure Initiatives (Library) • Collaboration in a DataNet proposal • University-wide eScience Institute

  16. Questions for Discussion • What are current and emerging service needs of scientific communities? • What are the challenges to serving multi-institutional research teams? • Other useful models? • What expertise is unique to libraries? • What organizational structure works best to respond effectively to research teams? • What knowledge/skills/abilities does a librarian need to be a member of a research team? • What models are there for libraries to partner with CS/informatics R & D?
