About This Webinar
Libraries serve as important conduits of research. Not only is research about previous activities important, libraries also support ongoing research activities, through the provision of information resources, repository activities, and skill in information management to research teams. In providing these services, academic libraries support the overall research mission of many institutions. They also make the library more visible and valued among its community. This webinar will highlight some successful libraries that have integrated their services into the research activities in their institutions. Speakers will describe ways that they support researchers beyond traditional library services, and how they have become more engaged in the research activities, though tools, data, resources, or skills.
Event Sessions
Library as Research Partner
Speaker
A changing climate for research presents libraries with many opportunities to engage more deeply with the research mission of their institutions. Emerging paradigms of information- and data-intensive research, interdisciplinary research programs, and funder mandates afford libraries the opportunity to be campus partners throughout the research lifecycle. This presentation will discuss the Purdue Libraries’ approach to research collaboration, and the programs and services that have allowed the Libraries to become more deeply integrated into the research life of the university.
NC State's Competitive Advantage for Research: the NCSU Libraries Diffuse Approach
Speakers
The NCSU Libraries vision is to serve as NC State's competitive advantage, including in support the research enterprise. The Libraries pursues this vision through a diffuse model of research support that includes high-technology spaces throughout its physical libraries, diffusion of expertise across departments and throughout research librarian liaisons, cross-departmental teams of librarians, creative partnerships with researchers, engagement with key campus constituents, and innovative e-research support infrastructure. This presentation will cover highlights from the Libraries diffuse and deeply engaged approach to supporting research and adding value to the university research enterprise.
Supporting Research at Montana State University with DISC
Speaker
Data Infrastructure and Scholarly Communication (DISC) is a joint initiative launched by the library and the IT Center at Montana State University (MSU). The mission of DISC is to elevate and amplify research produced at MSU, helping researchers thrive in a competitive funding environment and promoting the discovery, use and impact of their work. DISC pools the resources and expertise of ITC and the Library to provide computing infrastructure and complementary services that include data management, digital scholarship, researcher identification, scholarly communication, search engine and semantic web optimization, and social media. This presentation will describe some of the services and sample projects, as well as the formation of the initiative.
