Personally, I think this comes very late in the day, but I think it's good to see the library community looking seriously at changes to scholarly communication. After all, the old system - where we take all our material, give it to publishers, then buy it back for ever more inflated prices - is pretty much dead. I don't know about a "research agenda" - that's the old model of 'coordinated and targeted action', which generally serves the interests of one minority view or another. But all of that said, the questions, at least, are being asked: how is cyberinfrastructure money being spent? How do virtual organizations differ from those more traditional? How do scholars work? ACRL has set up a wiki for comments. Via ACRLog.
