Exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners, this gathering explored the evolving nature of academic research practices and the new demands on research library services. In addition to changes in the research process, research universities are evolving in new directions. Libraries are taking on new roles and responsibilities to support these changes—and libraries themselves are changing to position themselves for the future.   

This meeting took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton Amsterdam Centraal Station and included a workshop on Tuesday, 10 June, a full-day meeting on Wednesday, 11 June and a half-day meeting on Thursday morning, 12 June.  See the agenda on the tabs below for more information.

Libraries and Research: Supporting Change/Changing Support was a meeting on 11-12 June exclusively for OCLC Research Library Partners that covered how the evolving nature of academic research practices and scholarship places new demands on research library services. Shifting attitudes toward data sharing, methodologies in eScholarship, and rethinking the very definition of scholarly discourse all have implications for the library. But it is not only the research process that is changing, research universities are evolving in new directions, often becoming more outcome-oriented, changing to reflect the increased importance of impact assessment, and competing for funding. Libraries are taking on new roles and responsibilities to support change in research and in the academy. As they are preparing to meet new demands and position themselves for the future, libraries themselves are changing, both in their organizational structure and in their alliances with other parts of the university and with external entities.

The Evolving Scholarly Record and Evolving Stewardship Ecosystem was an optional, pre-meeting workshop on 10 June organized by OCLC Research and DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services), one of the major research data archiving centers in the Netherlands. This workshop covered the evolving scholarly record and the role of libraries, data archives, repositories and other stakeholders in its stewardship.
