How Librarians Are Helping to Build the Connected, Global Scholarly Community: New Opportunities and Challenges
In the third episode of our four-part series with information resources management (IRM) consultant Barbie Keiser, she highlights new opportunities for libraries in scholarly communication. First, Barbie walks through the benefits of establishing both short-term and long-term library projects, targeting specific disciplines in messaging, and updating language to appeal to patrons and administration. In addition, she reveals common issues librarians run into when trying to integrate into the ScholComm workflow, such as failing to recognize when a time-consuming activity misaligns with the library’s goals. Addressing the rapidly shifting research environment, Barbie closes with her thoughts on how the library can assist scholars through publication by staying up-to-date on research assessment methods and approaching these changes with a willingness to learn and share this knowledge.
