great deal of attention has been devoted to the role of different libraries
in the federal government, university, and research institute context with
regard to the potential long-term preservation, management, and provision of
scientific data, and related support of services and applications for
publicly-funded research. This has come at a time of rapid technological
change, an enormous and accelerating increase in the amount of scientific
data that is being generated, and intense financial pressures on libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

roles of libraries in the management and support of scientific data
activities for research and for the broader society are one important area of
focus for the National Research Council’s Board on Research Data and

Medicine, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services—and they
each provide a different role and perspective concerning these issues.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
