ESIG is a group of libraries in the various EPSCoR states. The purpose of ESIG is to enable participating libraries to better provide STM information to their researchers, who are eligible to participate in the National Science Foundation's EPSCoR program.

The group was envisioned in a proposal presented on March 12, 2001 in Arlington, VA to EPSCoR state directors and was brought into being at a meeting of librarians at Montana State University, Bozeman, MT on June 8, 2001.
