Cyberinfrastructure and “Big Data” represent a paradigm shift in science
that is transforming the research process to focus on the computation,
analysis, curation, and reuse of digital data on a massive scale.  What are
the implications for universities in terms of their libraries, research,
and teaching?

This workshop brings together a select group of libraries, research and
data centers, cyberinfrastructure developers, and educators to explore
these issues and begin to integrate data curation into their practice and
services. The workshop is meant for senior library officials i.e.
University Librarian / Dy. Librarian/ Chief Librarian or other technical
staff engaged in data curation, managing research and data centres etc. The
educators having interest in above or engaged in e-learning tools may also
attend it.

Participants will be provided with:

  a.. an introduction to data curation in the context of institutional
repositories with perspectives from librarians from India and the United
States;
  b.. the opportunity to collaborate on Databib and help represent research
data from India in a global catalog of data repositories;
  c..  a venue to discuss and share questions about new roles and emerging
practices relating to research data;
  d..  an understanding of the current state of the art in data-enabled
cyberinfrastructure and teaching in the United States and India.
Thanks to support from Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Office of
Engagement at Purdue University, there is no charge to participate, but
