    + Libraries Research Services High Tea 2020 Friday, June 19, 2020 2–3:30 p.m | Brought to you by Zoom Program Palma Buttles-Valdez Celebrating the 155th Anniversary of Juneteenth “Emancipation Day” Special Guest Speaker: Tom Longstaff, CTO, Software Engineering Institute Partnering with Library Science to Increase Collaboration Across the University SEI Emerging Technology Center staff: Carol Smith, Ritwik Gupta, Andrew Mellinger, and Hollen Barmer CMU Atlas of AI ETC’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) project goal of locating research partners across SEI and CMU for future (AI) collaborations. The goal is to make it easier for the SEI (and anyone at CMU) to discover people doing research in the broad topic of AI, to aid the creation of marketing/sales resources that showcase the benefits of partnering with the SEI on AI. Their intention is to address these issues and explore the role that KiltHub might play in achieving this project goal. Special Guest Speaker: Keith Webster, Dean of Carnegie Mellon University Libraries Libraries, Open Science and COVID-19 It is already evident that the pandemic will have fundamental implications for the flows of information and data. Researchers are overwhelmed by the volume of relevant papers being released, many without conventional peer review. Publishers have freed up their archives to anyone who wishes to access relevant content. Data archives are being populated with vast arrays of observations, many being shared internationally for the first time. Keith Webster will offer some thoughts on open science and team science, and on a possible role for libraries in supporting scientists as they respond to COVID-19.
