Dear IFETS-Forum Members,
"COLLABORATORIES" CHANGE THE WAY SCIENTISTS WORK TOGETHER
Increasingly, scientists at different research labs are finding that they
can effectively pool their resources through Internet-based
"collaboratories" -- networked systems that enable researchers at other
locations to share equipment such as the electron microscope located in La
Jolla, Calif., or examine 3-D models of molecules simultaneously to search
for new drugs. The arrangements enable frequent collaborations between
researchers who otherwise would not be able to work together, because of
distance, time constraints or other difficulties, says the director of
Michigan's Collaboratory for Research on Electronic Work. "In the past, you
had to be somewhere big, with important people to knit together, to create a
'center,'" says an assistant research scientist at the Michigan
Collaboratory, who adds that collaboratories now allow smaller institutions
to do the same thing. (Vincent Kiernan, "Internet-based 'Collaboratories'
Help Scientists Work Together," Chronicle of Higher Education 12 Mar 99)
