Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Library Support for E-Science Report from ARL

The Association of Research Libraries (one of CNI's sponsor organizations) 
has just made available the report of its task force on library support for
E-science, titled "Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research LIbraries".
The report is at

http://www.arl.org/bm~doc/ARL_EScience_final.pdf


and you can find additional background on the task force and ARL's E-science
work on pages linked from

http://www.arl.org/rtl/escience/index.shtml

I think that this report represents an important milestone in the movement
by the research library community to address the opportunities and
challenges raised by the emergence of e-science.

Disclosure: I served as a member of the task force.
