We need to start brainstorming for ideas and features that we want on the new science portal so we'll be prepared for when we locate a web designer.
Here are a list of some other science library websites. Not all are great but I'd like for us to discuss what elements we like and which features we don't like (just as important). Please feel free to post links to other libraries you think are worthy of critique. Also, if there are general guidelines and features that you'd like to include please post about those too.
My first impression looking at these sites is how busy they all are. Lots of links and it seems overwhelming at first glance. Its a decision that we'll have to make about how much information should be quickly accessible on the main page but yet still easily usable. Caltech's library page is the most easily navigated, IMO. I like the quick drop down boxes and the selection of links. I especially like the menu for authors - as the issue of open access and author rights becomes more important on campus, we'll need to take an active role in helping the faculty understand their rights and options for publishing.

Proceedings
Best quote: Librarians are like Mr. Paperclip from MS Office - we pop up when you least expect it and try to offer to you help...
This conference focused on the science library's role in supporting e-science and integrating into research collaborations and science departments. There was a mixture of speakers: government, library and institute directors, and a few librarians. The presentations were a mixture of big picture descriptions and some concrete examples. I felt like there wasn't as much hard solutions that we could take back to the library and implement, but perhaps just educating the library community on how radically different e-science is changing the research landscape is the necessary first step.
I've included the highlights from my session notes below (let me know if you'd like the see my full notes in gory detail). Check out the proceedings link above for powerpoint and document files for most of the speakers.
As a side note, our poster about GatorScholar was well-received with many people already aware of the project from either Val's USAIN presentations, the SLA poster, or from hearing about Cornell's project. Medha Devare was one of the panel reactors and she mentioned our collaboration in her presentation. Most of the poster visitors seemed very interested in starting their own version and perhaps at some point we'll have a network of databases.
Thursday
E-Science: Trends, Transformations & Responses
Convener and Moderator: Wendy Lougee, University of Minnesota
Speaker: Chris Greer, Director, National Coordination Office
Convener and Moderator: James Mullins, Dean of Libraries, Purdue University
The move by AFI and SAI to send the athletes on a month-long camp helped them acclimatise and bounce back to qualify for the 2024 Olympics
Usain Bolt’s superhuman effort of 9.58 seconds (100m) and 19.19 seconds (200m) at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin have not been threatened ever since.
The AFI chief said the athletes needed to declare their coaches’ names in dope control forms and all the coaches would have to be registered with the federation
Reigning Paralympics champion Sumit Antil defended his F64 javelin throw world title while Thangavelu Mariyappan also grabbed gold medal.
The 21-year-old from Rohtak ran the country’s fastest 400m at the recent Haryana Championships
There are no eye-popping names in the fray, perhaps because the National inter-state championship is scheduled in close proximity (June 27-30 in Panchkula, Haryana).
Freitag won world championships at youth, junior, and senior levels. He took gold in the high jump at the 2003 World Championships in Paris
The Athletics Federation of India announced the squad on July 4 with no surprises, including all those who have either achieved the qualifying standard or made the cut through world rankings.
The upcoming Games will be held from July 26 to August 11 and India would be hoping to better its best ever tally of seven medals, including Chopra's historic javelin throw gold, achieved in the Tokyo Games.
Over the last decade, not-for-profit organisations as well as private academies and training centres have come forward to train Indian athletes, bringing them on a par with global standards
The lineup features 314 women and 278 men, spanning ages from 16 to 59 and with 46 states represented.
Lyles was quick out of his blocks and tore down the track at London Stadium to win in 9.81 seconds
Competing in her third Olympics — Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo — Yousofi finished with a time of 13.42 seconds, slower than the 13.29 three years ago.
With the silver win, Chopra became only the third Indian and the first in track-and-field to win back-to-back individual Olympic medals.
Arshad Nadeem has faced scarcity of resources and facilities that all non-cricket playing athletes face in the country.
Neeraj Chopra will be up against a top-class field in Lausanne, with five of the top-six finishers in the Paris Olympics final competing
The Indian digs deep — he was in trouble after the fourth attempt to be placed fourth — to better his Olympic mark and finish behind Peters
The season finale will be a two-day affair on September 14 and 15 in Brussels. Chopra accumulated 14 points from his two second-place finishes in the one-day meets held in Doha and Lausanne.
The IOC, with 111 members currently, is in charge of the Olympic Games and the multi-billion dollar industry linked to the world's biggest multi-sports event.

As many as four world-class match-winners are expected to bid adieu to the game one by one in the next couple of years and Gautam Gambhir is in an unenviable position as head coach.
A turner in Pune exposed the soft underbelly of Indian batters' technique against slow bowling but as per the current team's philosophy, it has decided to take the bull by its horns by asking for a turner where the ball might turn at right angles from first hour.
New Zealand beat India by 25 runs in Mumbai to complete an unprecedented 3-0 series sweep in India.
Jurel and Nitish Kumar Reddy then safely saw off the bowling to stay 73 for 5 till close of play, taking a 11-run lead.
