e-Science Portal for New England Librarians

The e-Science Portal for New England Librarians
Keep your finger on New England’s e-Science pulse and check out the e-Science Portal for New England Librarians -- a librarian’s link to e-science resources. Initiated by the Lamar Soutter Library at the University of Massachusetts Medical School with funding from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, New England Region, the e-science portal is a centralized resource for librarians who work in research organizations that generate, share, store, and/or use data for basic scientific research in the health, biological, and physical sciences.
A team of subject librarians from diverse New England research libraries have contributed content for the portal’s seven focus areas. These focus areas include: Home, About e-Science, e-Science and Libraries, Current Projects, e-Science Community, Science Primers, and About the Portal.  The portal includes links to publications about researchers and data, cyberinfrastructure, library roles, research support services, data management planning, data repositories,  librarian education, current projects, science primers and tutorials. The portal blog, e-Science Community, offers blog postings on e-science hot topics, job opportunities, news, events, and provides a discussion forum.
The-Science Portal team welcomes comments, suggestions, and contribution of content! For further information, contact project coordinator for the portal, Donna Kafel at donna.kafel@umassmed.edu
