title: E-discovery in the Philippines

authors: Dizon, Michael

abstract: Although the Philippines does not have special or extensive rules on e-discovery, procedural rules adopted by the Supreme Court, particularly the Rules of Civil Procedure and the Rules on Electronic Evidence (“REE”), and statutes like the Electronic Commerce Act1 (“ECA” or the “Act”) provide a basic yet workable legal framework for the conduct of discovery processes in the country.

title: Research support in New Zealand University Libraries

authors: Howie, Jess

abstract: Researcher-facing librarians in New Zealand are providing guidance across more of the research lifecycle than ever before in response to an increasingly complex scholarly ecosystem. This research explored the development of research support through survey responses from all eight New Zealand University Libraries. From the responses it was possible to ascertain the level of services offered or planned in the four key areas of research impact, Research Data Management, scholarly communication and Kaupapa Māori research. Skills gaps and barriers to service development were also identified. Comparison with an earlier study revealed that research impact and Research Data Management services have developed well over the last 6 years. A good level of maturity was identified in scholarly communication services but support for Kaupapa Māori research was identified as an area for development. Barriers to service development included lack of resourcing and low recognition of library value from the wider institution.
