Expanding the Grid: Collaborative Opportunities in E-Science

In November 2007, the Joint Task Force on Library Support for E-Science from ARL issued a report entitled the "Agenda for Developing E-Science in Research Libraries." This report outlined critical areas for engagement, as well as strategies for libraries to undertake in order to improve support for the E-Sciences at an institutional level. This paper examines five on-campus laboratories from UNC-Chapel Hill, and using the ARL guidelines and agendas projects how the UNC-CH library system can begin to improve support for E-Sciences
