[Sig-l] Co-sponsorship?

[John D'Ignazio]

Dear SIG Chairs:

SIG/STI (Science and Technical Information) is proposing a panel  
submission and is currently seeking cosponsors, and possibly  
participation in its creation, from other SIGs. The panel organizers  
are Jian Qin of Syracuse University and Elisabeth Jones of University  
of Washington, and the title is "Best Practices and Strategies for  
Data Librarianship." The panel plans to cover best practices and  
strategies of people working in this area at academic libraries and  
research institutions who have reacted to the e-Science trend by  
initiating data repository projects and exploring strategies and  
solutions to science data problems. This activity has been called  
“data librarianship” which has been used to encompass the effort of  
data management and supplying related service to the community. The  
panel presentations are expected to cover policies, institutional  
relations, planning, technical considerations, staffing, and other  
issues that fall under data librarianship's purview.

Based on the brief presentations at the SIG planning meeting in  
Columbus, this proposal seemed to fit with SIG MGT, and perhaps it  
could be aligned with the item on the SIG-DL WIKI site: "3. Cross- 
border data management; interoperable metadata; roles concerning  
metadata creation."

If there is interest from these or other SIGs, please respond to me  
directly.

Thanks!
John
