2016 Survey of Chief Academic Officers in US Universities
How would you rate the effectiveness of your institution’s technology resources andservices in the following areas?

LIBRARY RESOURCES AND SERVICES

More than half of Chief
Academic Officers think thelibrary is “very effective”

43% think the library is
not very effective –anddissatisfaction isgreatest at research
universities

CAO = University Provost, Vice-Chancellor, Vice President for Research etc.

From Curation to Creation
THEN:

NOW:

Library value related to managing
collections to support research ,teaching.
Value relates to support for process
and productivity of research andlearning.

The value the CAO is looking for isincreased research productivity andstudent success33/10/2016

Library roles

Library Roles in Research Information Management
University: manage knowledge ‘stocks and flows’
to maximize institutional successResearcher: support for evolving workflows,
personal reputation management

Library supports both through• Managing boundary of institutional repository and CRIS
• Managing institutional metadata for discovery & impact• Closer engagement with research process, e.g. RDM

University Libraries and ‘New Knowledge Work’• Manage author, object and organizational
identifiers for the semantic web• Manage in- and outbound metadata flows tomaximize visibility of institutional output• Manage researcher activity data to informinstitutional research assessment• Maximize visibility and impact of institutional
research in social networks• Advance role of the library as publisher

Summary• There is a clear trend toward more systematic
assessment of university research performance andproductivity• Organizations and institutions with ‘well-controlled’
metadata about authors and outputs will manage better• Libraries can play a vital role in research and reputation
management:– Metadata expertise and ‘new knowledge work’– Stewardship mandate (Collections + faculty outputs)– Deepening engagement in research process25

3/10/2016

Opportunities?
National scale:• Extend identifier resolution for authors and organizations• leverage ‘system-wide’ view of Japanese research outputs
in JAIRO

Institution scale:• increase linkages between library and researchadministration for improved entity/asset management• educate CRIS/profiling vendors about metadata sources
to represent full range of institutional research output• elevate faculty awareness about online reputation
management, research data management (RDM) etc.
