Description
This book provides strategic insights drawn from librarians who are meeting the challenge of digital scholarship, utilising the latest technologies and creating new knowledge in partnership with researchers, scholars, colleagues, and students.
The impact of digital on libraries has extended far beyond its transformation of content, to the development of services, the extension and enhancement of access to research, and to teaching and learning systems. As a result, the fluidity of the digital environment can often be at odds with the more systematic approaches to development traditionally taken by academic libraries. This has also led to a new generation of roles and shifting responsibilities, with staff training and development often playing βcatch-upβ.
One of the key challenges to emerge is how best to demonstrate expertise in digital scholarship, which draws on the specialist technical knowledge of the profession and maintains and grows its relevance for staff, students, and researchers.
This edited collection spans a wide range of contrasting perspectives, contexts, insights, and case studies, which explore the relationships between digital scholarship, contemporary academic libraries, and professional practice. Developing Digital Scholarship demonstrates that there are opportunities to be bold, remodel, trial new approaches, and reposition the library as a key partner in the process of digital scholarship.
Content covered includes:
- The impact of digital scholarship on organisational strategies
- An insight into new services and roles, partnerships and collaborations
- Case studies exploring new technologies to support research and development
- New approaches to service delivery
- Re-visioning of space, physical and virtual
This is an essential guide for librarians and information professionals involved in digital scholarship and communication, who wish to extend their awareness of emerging practices, as well as library administrators and students studying library and information science.
