dc.titleFuture-proofing : the academic library’s role in e-research supporten_US
dc.typeConference Paperen_US
dcterms.abstractPurpose – The paper describes a project created to enhance e-research support activities within an Australian university, based on environmental scanning of e-research activities and funding both nationally and internationally. Participation by the university library is also described.-
dcterms.abstractDesign/methodology/approach – The paper uses a case study that describes the stages of a project undertaken to develop an academic library’s capacity to offer e-research support to its institution’s research community.-
dcterms.abstractFindings – While the outcomes of the project have been successfully achieved, the work needs to be continued and eventually mainstreamed as core business in order to keep pace with developments in e-research. The continual skilling up of the university’s researchers and research support staff in e-research activities is imperative in reaching the goal of becoming a highly competitive research institution.-
dcterms.abstractResearch limitations/implications – Although a single case study, the work has been contextualised within the national research agenda.-
dcterms.abstractPractical implications – The paper provides a project model that can adapted within an academic library without external or specialist skills. It is also scalable and can be applied at a divisional or broader level.-
dcterms.abstractOriginality/value – The paper highlights the drivers for research investment in Australia and provides a model of how building e-research support activities can leverage this investment and contribute towards successful research activity.-
