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.

The Guide for Research Libraries: The NSF Data Sharing Policy is freely accessible at http://www.arl.org/rtl/eresearch/escien/nsf/index.shtml.
