Research in the Information Age is driven by digital
data. Libraries are emerging as critical partners in
the curation, access, use, re-use, and preservation
of research data. Digital stewardship, and the
requisite cyber-infrastructure, economic models,
and policies required to administer and protect
research data, present both new opportunities and
challenges for 21st century libraries. In this talk,
we describe the emerging role for Libraries as
stewards of valued digital research collections.
