“…However, Catherine Sassen, Rebecca Welch and Kathryn Loafman found that concerns with cataloging services are not always expressed by library staff outside of cataloging. 12 Catalogers may need to request feedback from public services staff in order to improve services and increase visibility and value. The authors surveyed personnel in both the Public Services and Cataloging and Metadata Services departments at the University of North Texas to assess the perceived importance of various cataloging services.…”

Academic libraries are increasingly asked to articulate connections between the work of library staff and student success. This article discusses how a team of librarians participating in CARLI Counts, an immersive professional development program funded by a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, responded to the lack of research investigating the indirect impact of the work of technical services staff on student learning. An anonymous online survey distributed to library staff of the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) member institutions explored the perceived value of enhanced cataloging in supporting student research. Survey results point to opportunities for communication and collaboration among technical services and public services librarians to improve understanding of enhanced catalog functionality and user needs.

“…The results were encoded based on the type of service, the actor, and the practice of organizing the digital library. The literature review provided evidence of research support services that have been developed in digital libraries, which are divided into six groups: scholarly publishing access, research result dissemination, research data management, research consultation, and capacity building, repository, and research tool and research guide 3,22,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] . Research funding and collaboration services have not been developed in digital libraries.…”

Several studies have highlighted the critical role of academic digital libraries in providing research support services and improving research performance. Although several studies have discussed the value of realizing this role, a business model that can serve as a reference in carrying out this role is not yet available. This research aimed to propose a business model and a prototype design for Indonesia’s academic digital library for research support services. A focus group discussion was conducted involving nine experts to identify the key factors. They were then mapped onto a Business Model Canvas. The key activities in the business model guided the requirements gathering for developing a prototype. The requirements were obtained from the literature reviews with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The requirements were validated by interviewing library managers, research unit managers, and information technology managers. This research resulted in the academic digital library Business Model Canvas and the proposed prototype design, which consisted of a mobile application for member users and a back-office application to manage services by librarians. Further research on prototype implementation testing and the development of a successful implementation model is needed to strengthen this research.
