This presentation explores the evolving role of science librarianship in the context of e-science and changing research practices. Highlights from discussions at the IATUL Seminar on e-Science include the necessity for libraries to adapt to new data management responsibilities, the importance of contextualizing data with appropriate software and workflows, and fostering collaboration among institutions. Emphasis is placed on the integral role libraries play in addressing intellectual property issues and ensuring the availability of government-funded data, paving the way for a more specialized and collaborative library environment.
