From study to academic research support: the emerging role of the librarian
Trinity College Dublin,Ireland
Trinity College DublinResearch themes: Creative Technologies;Smart & Sustainable Cities
“Higher education operates in the global arena and this is the context in which academic outputs, standards and quality are benchmarked and referenced”. – HEA Landscape document 2012
“It is clear that as the nature of research within our institutions changes, so must the role of thelibrary in supporting research. The increasingly competitive research environment demands greater collaboration (across disciplines, institutional, and national boundaries) and generates greater quantities of data than ever before. In addition, funders are placing increased emphasis on the demonstration of the impact of research outputs and engendering wide dissemination of researchfindings...”

“...As research activities evolve, research support must evolve with it. There has been much debate within libraries as to what form this evolution will take—but little consensus in terms of the part to be played by the library in general or the role of library staff members in particular.”

Task Force on Librarians’ Competencies in Support of E-Research and Scholarly Communication
a) Increase in jobs with ‘scholarly communication’ in the title
b) Differences in title, emphasis and content between Europe and North America. E.g. North America is more sharply focused on copyright wjereas European ones hae a broader remit.

TCD Research Support System Brief/Context
“A coherent information policy for College to address the needs of management, the Library, e-learning, electronic publications and records management will be developed with a view to having an integrated view of information systems across the whole of College.”
“A research database will be part of an integrated management system to help monitor our progress in research and scholarship and to help manage their support.”

Task Force on Librarians’ Competencies in Support of E-Research and Scholarly Communication
In 2012, Research Libraries UK (RLUK) surveyed 23 of theirmember institutions in efforts to map the needs ofthe changing scholarly landscape and to create aseries of recommendations for stakeholders. The RLUKstudy revealed that the skills of librarians, informationspecialists, and liaison staff must be developed toadequately support their institutions’ researchers;subject librarians, specifically, will need to fulfill a rolethat has transformed from information discovery andmanagement, collection development, and literacytraining to one that emphasizes the research processin greater depth, from the curation and preservationof research data to mastering effective methods ofscholarly communication and dissemination.
The Key is
Collaboration
