Developing Library Cyberinfrastructure (LCI) Strategy for Big Data Sharing and Reuse

As a key component of the nation's knowledge infrastructure, libraries must continuously reinvent themselves with the emergence and the establishment of new discovery paradigms. The recent wave of data intensive science has motivated many high-profile library big data services. Many more are being developed or being planned. With an emphasis on big data sharing and reuse, this research project aims to develop an evidence-based, broadly adaptable library cyberinfrastructure (LCI) strategy to operate such services on shared IT infrastructure, which includes but is not limited to institutional and national high-performance computing (HPC) resources as well as academic and commercial cloud services.
