The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) are cosponsoring a forum on 'Reinventing Science Librarianship: Models for the Future,' to be held October 16-17, 2008. The event follows the 153rd ARL Membership Meeting, at the Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City, in Arlington, Virginia.
The organisers hope to broaden the understanding of trends in scientific research as well as support leadership in applying these trends in the development of new library roles. The programme will highlight case studies of different scales to illustrate new, emerging models of library support.
The forum is designed for the leadership of libraries and enterprise-wide IT services. The intended audience includes directors or assistant directors of research libraries, campus IT services, science libraries, and health science libraries. More information on the event is available at http://www.arl.org/events/fallforum/forum08/oct08reg.shtml.
