4. Libraries and research
• Libraries = research
• Most money in Library Grants is frequently acquired to support
research
• eJournals, eBooks, databases
• Digital libraries = digital research
• Providing online access to information as needed to inform
research
• Capturing and sharing online the outputs of research
• What’s different, what’s the same?

5. Libraries in the research lifecycle

9. The future is open
• Open access, open data, open source, open education, open
science
• Open <insert word here>
• Open Research and open researchers
“Open support for or rejection of published theories, sharing of data and methods and
international exchange have been central to scientific practice for more than three
centuries; it is nothing new. However, recent and on-going advances in technology are
leading to significant changes in how this can happen and in the extent and
frequency of open sharing. This means that researchers must change the way they
think and act and foster skills not required by their predecessors.”
