Data imperative event

The data imperative event organized the RLUK/SCONUL Task Force on e-Research was held on Wednesday 3 June in Oxford with support from the Oxford e-Research Centre, RLUK, SCONUL and RIN.

This was an excellent opportunity to confirm the extraordinary interest of librarians in this area as well as the difficulty to clarify their role and where the necessary funding comes from to allow addressing the challenge. Chris Keene shares his notes of the event from his blog and RLUK will be shortly making the presentations available.

In the mean time you can access Prof. Paul Jeffrey's introduction to the workshop and my talk describing Oxford's recent work in this area.
