title = "The emerging role of libraries in data curation and e-science",
abstract = "The role of libraries is to collect, preserve, and disseminate the intellectual output of the society. This output includes books and serials as well as the digital versions of the same. Scientists, other scholars, and all of society are now producing, storing, and disseminating digital data that underpin the aforementioned documents in much larger volumes than the text. The survival of this data is in question since the data are not housed in long-lived institutions such as libraries. This situation threatens the underlying principles of scientific replicability since in many cases data cannot readily be collected again. Libraries are the institutions that could best manage this intellectual output.",

note = "Funding Information: Funding agencies such as the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health have come to realize that much of the data they are paying to have generated is not being properly curated or fully utilized and is often lost. Funding agencies are looking to new institutions to handle this form of the country{\textquoteright}s scholarly output. Academic, public, and school libraries are logical repositories for society{\textquoteright}s knowledge production but only if they develop the proper infrastructure, including retraining of human capital. Funding Information: A number of federal agencies, under the direction of the National Science Board, are calling for greater access to data from federally funded research. In early 2009, the Interagency Working Group on Digital Data (IWGDD) issued a report to the Committee on Science of the National Science and Technology Council, Harnessing the Power of Digital Data for Science and Society (IWGDD, 2009). This report pointed out the inherent problems with the access and preservation of scientific digital data and called for new research as well as changes in the scientific infrastructure to address the problem. Funding Information: In 2011 the National Science Foundation began requiring data management plans with most grant proposals. These plans can identify data being collected, metadata, data gathering procedures, and policies and mechanisms for sharing data where appropriate. The National Institutes of Health and other agencies also are planning broad new requirements on the management of federally funded scientific data. It will no longer be the case that researchers will be able to discard data after publication. Posting data sets on project Web servers or in a bit bucket will no longer be adequate. New data formats and metadata will be required. The problem is not only high-volume data production projects but also medium and small projects that represent the majority of research dollars (Heidorn, 2008). Some disciplines do not have public disciplinary repositories, thus creating a demand for the establishment of institutional repositories.",
