Trends in Research

Trends in Academic Libraries

Challenge for Researchers

Data is expensive Time, instrumentation, inability to reproduceIncreasing regulation Granting agencies and journals require

submissionInadequate training No formal data management curriculumPreservation is not a priority Where is the Institutional Repository?Data management plans (DMPs) and Policies A challenge for research administration and

compliance, but really just the tip of the iceberg

Challenge for Institutions

“What role do the research and academiclibraries envision for themselves and doscientists envision for librarians in a digitaldata framework…?”

- To Stand the Test of Time…(2006) ARL. p.24

Roles for Libraries

In the Beginning: Purdue University

Jim Mullins Dean of LibrariesPurdue University

2004 initiative for Libraries to collaborate with faculty across campus—apply library science knowledge and expertise to research problems: manage, organize, describe, disseminate, preserve information.

Particular emphasis on addressing data curation issues.

The Data Research Scientist

Help the Libraries move research strategically forward.

Help ramp up interaction with research faculty on campus.

Leverage interdisciplinary research collaborations.

Address the social, cultural and organizational aspects of data curation.

Trends in Academic Libraries

Research Data Management Librarian

Science Data Librarian

Neutral: works across the entire institution Strong in relationship building: has

experience fostering discussion and relationships, and cultivates an existing support network

Intellectual Property experts: has dealt with copyright, can translate to data

Service-oriented: uniquely positioned as an intellectual service unit within the institution

Why the Library?

Access. Knowledge. Success

Given the changing nature of research and scholarly communication (i.e., e-research), how do librarians change to adapt to new ideas regarding what they collect to support research & education and how they provide access to it?
