Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Library and Archives)

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with partner the Rockefeller University will undertake initial planning for a proposed shared bioscience information resource center. The planning will include collaboration with university leadership and faculty to conduct surveys, form a committee, and organize discussions about the proposed center, resulting in a pilot program. This proposed digital center will bring together collections and content and will promote policies that allow access for others throughout the scientific community. Strong collaborations are a critical need when planning the future of science libraries at academic research institutions. The collaborations within this grant will generate new models, strategies, and relationships in order to best serve the changing need for access to information at science libraries.
