Library: derived from a longstanding history of librarianship – Strenghts: service reputation, recurrent funds and a profession behind it – Weakness: little subject-specific expertise • Ad-hoc Data Library: derived from urgent needs in (research) practice – Strength: built on outstanding subject-specific expertise – Weakness: service not always culture of research, no recurrent funding • However, there are many hybrids – The physical data library is about virtual data services – The virtual data library will need a physical infrastructure [Anlass der Präsentation]
