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?
