Apologies for cross-posting! ********************** This is the final week to register for the DuraSpace/ARL/DLF E-Science Institute<http://duraspace.org/e-science-institute>! There are just a few openings available for the fall 2012 offering, which runs from September 6 through December 13. To register, visit http://duraspace.org/e-science-institute<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001ar0Whs682__73h5h_2Tr3BUP61qnUmFAnTFQisBoBAE1q_eREIn2mfOSKJXJ7UoEtjZvpszQ6vdg4Ee0ZW5GTaY8VUg1pELH9dg5cmDRdYn52d7wzI4n0kSDy4HHZwPjBQD2cCn6g-I=>. The E-Science Institute is designed to help academic and research libraries develop a strategic agenda for e-research support, with a particular focus on the sciences. The Institute consists of a series of interactive modules that take small teams of individuals from your institution through a dynamic learning process to strengthen and advance their strategy for supporting computational scientific research. The coursework begins with a series of exercises for teams to complete at their institutions, and culminates with an in-person workshop. Local institution assignments help staff establish a high level understanding of research support background needs and issues. Originally funded and developed by the sponsors and supporting institutions of the Association of Research Libraries<http://www.arl.org/> (ARL) and Council on Library and Information Resources<http://www.clir.org/> (CLIR) / Digital Library Federation<http://www.diglib.org/> (DLF) and it was previously only available to their members. Going forward the E-Science Institute will be managed by the DuraSpace organization in partnership with ARL and CLIR/DLF, and will be open to all institutions. The current offering of the Institute includes improvements based on participant and faculty feedback as well as content updates as e-research services continue to mature individually and collectively. The registration deadline is September 1 and the launch webinar will be held next Thursday, September 6 at 1pm Eastern.
