Now this groundbreaking work is available in convenient printed format for the first time. The essays are divided into three parts: an overview of E-science challenges for libraries; perspectives on E-science; and perspectives from individual research libraries. Comprises essays from nine expert contributors-each an innovator who has successfully integrated E-science programs at their institutions Includes bibliographies to additional readings and resources about E-science
