Charting new territory: Mapping the international skills landscape for research libraries in a spirit of openness

What will the academic and research library workforce of the future look like? How are the skills and competency requirements of our institutions changing? And what skills will we require, as a community, to face the challenges of the future?

This roundtable will explore the international skills landscapes for research libraries and collaborative opportunities available for knowledge exchange and skills development. The roundtable will use a series of recent collaborative projects between RLUK, The University of Florida, the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), and the Council on Library and Information Resources, Digital Library Federation (CLIR DLF) as ‘touch papers’ for discussion.

Panelists:

Brian Keith, Associate Dean for Administrative Services and Faculty Affairs, University of Florida 
Jason Clark, Lead for Research Informatics, Montana State University
Leigh Bonds, Digital Humanities Librarian, Ohio State University
Fiona Courage, Associate Director, and RLUK ADN co-convenor
Kirsty Lingstadt, Director of Libraries, Archives and Learning Services, University of York
Eleonora Gandolfi, Head of Digital Scholarship and Innovation, University of Southampton
