New Genetics and the Trans-Atlantic Slave Database Working Group Co-Directors: Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Evelynn M. Hammonds Under the direction of Professors Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Evelynn M. Hammonds, the New Genetics and the Trans- Atlantic Slave Trade Working Group was convened for the first time in January 2006 and included the nation s top scientists, social scientists, and historians who discussed the latest research in genetics and how to effectively use historical and social contexts to understand the origins of the Africans who survived the Middle Passage in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade to the United States.

What does this imply? New Models of Knowledge Organization New Collaborations across Academic Boundaries New International Cooperation for Data Preservation and Access New Research Methods and Strategies New Curriculum New Models of Knowledge Organization New Collaborations across Academic Boundaries New International Cooperation for Data Preservation and Access New Research Methods and Strategies New Curriculum

What Does This Imply For Research Libraries? Will the 21st Century Need Libraries? Will the 21st Century Need Libraries?
39
YES: But Research Libraries Will Transform
40
Libraries Must Adopt a Cyberinfrastructure Model:Deep Functional Collaborations Shared collections: discarding duplicates Shared staff: working toward the collective goal IT infrastructure shared across several institutions University presses form coalition on single software platform Digital object is the official scholarly representation: no warehouses, no press, no out of print, no inventory Shared collections: discarding duplicates Shared staff: working toward the collective goal IT infrastructure shared across several institutions University presses form coalition on single software platform Digital object is the official scholarly representation: no warehouses, no press, no out of print, no inventory
41
The New Library, Cont Digital library activities and projects must widely federate Scholarly environments must emerge from digital libraries: *background data *notes *instrumentation *methodological descriptions *comprehensive references and bibliographies *Large datasets of audio, visual, multimedia materials Digital library activities and projects must widely federate Scholarly environments must emerge from digital libraries: *background data *notes *instrumentation *methodological descriptions *comprehensive references and bibliographies *Large datasets of audio, visual, multimedia materials
42
The New Library, Cont Centers for instruction and collaborative research in synch with the shared mission Centers that explore the changes that are effecting them and what they are becoming: a collective autopoiesis Create an audit authority to assure perpetual persistence and access to the myriad data and information layers (articles, research statistics, course information, archival drafts, pre- publications) Centers for instruction and collaborative research in synch with the shared mission Centers that explore the changes that are effecting them and what they are becoming: a collective autopoiesis Create an audit authority to assure perpetual persistence and access to the myriad data and information layers (articles, research statistics, course information, archival drafts, pre- publications)
43
The New Library, Cont Cyberinfrastructure characteristics: * wide community of interest and collaboration *multidisciplinary *high level of shared expertise *tremendous amounts of data *responsibility for data curation and persistence *integral to research and its strategies * involved with data analysis, visualization, mining, semantic search Cyberinfrastructure characteristics: * wide community of interest and collaboration *multidisciplinary *high level of shared expertise *tremendous amounts of data *responsibility for data curation and persistence *integral to research and its strategies * involved with data analysis, visualization, mining, semantic search

The Next Library A formal, physical entity with staff and some analog materials with an individual identity (name, tradition, areas of special focus) Beneath, a tremendously complex virtual strata that is coherent with 10 or more institutions in a shared functional infrastructure Operations and services inextricable from the wider collaborative: a new information entanglement model A formal, physical entity with staff and some analog materials with an individual identity (name, tradition, areas of special focus) Beneath, a tremendously complex virtual strata that is coherent with 10 or more institutions in a shared functional infrastructure Operations and services inextricable from the wider collaborative: a new information entanglement model
