Workshop @ deRSE19: Libraries for Research Software & Engineers

Abstract

The workshop was hosted by five people from library and infrastructure environments. As information managers we discussed what libraries are already doing and should do in the future to further explore software engineering and engineers. The topic attracted participants with diverse backgrounds in research software engineering and library and information science. Our goals were to generate/strengthen awareness of the topic of Research Software & Engineers [RS(E)] in libraries, to jointly identify fields of action for libraries, to collect and collaboratively develop ideas and materials for use in libraries, and to interconnect the RSE community with libraries.
