ARL Guide on NSF Data Sharing
Policy
I wanted to share this announcement from the Association of
Research Libraries with the CNI community; I know many of you will
have seen it already, but because it's so closely connected with one
of our key programmatic areas, and so timely for many of our member
institutions as they develop strategies to respond to the new NSF
requirements for data management plans, I'm reposting it here.

ARL Releases New Guide and Launches Online
Forum for Libraries Supporting the NSF Data Sharing
Policy
Washington DC-The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has
released a new resource for libraries supporting the recently revised
NSF Data Sharing Policy. The Guide for Research Libraries: The NSF
Data Sharing Policy, by Patricia Hswe and Ann Holt, is a set of
Web-based resources that introduces and explains the policy. Hswe and
Holt also offer advice for library professionals who work with
researchers seeking funding and provide links to a range of resources
that have been created by ARL member libraries and others.
The Guide's authors are actively seeking information on
additional resources libraries are creating. The Google group, ARL
Data Sharing Support Group, has been established as a contact point
for librarians interested in sharing and exchanging information on
their efforts to advance and support researchers creating data
management and sharing plans. Individuals can join the group by
emailing http://groups.google.com/group/arl-data-sharing-support-group.
