“…From the literature review on this topic, we can see a profusion of studies (which increases in 2010) in recent years that seek to reflect on the new roles that research libraries are assuming (other reviews can be found in [22][23][24]). For Anglada [25], the focus of the libraries in the construction of collections was shaken by the changes in science communication [26].…”

“…Case [28] argues that research libraries should play the role of partners in the creation of knowledge. If the creation of new knowledge was previously dependent on the collection, organization, access and preservation that libraries guarantee, in the digital environment libraries now have the opportunity to integrate even more actively into the process of knowledge creation [22]. Their contribution is not only the replication of the previous roles but also the core values (access, preservation, ethics) that the professional community carries in their work.…”

In a world of information overload and data deluge, is opening science a research library's duty? Or is the openness of science deeply changing libraries, ultimately converting them into something else? The purpose of the review is to highlight the challenging issues stemming from the relationship between research and libraries. A broad literature analysis was performed focused on the intersection of three different perspectives: (1) the future of research libraries, (2) the emerging new roles, and (3) the ongoing openness of science. Libraries are still at the heart of science but challenged by several stakeholders within the complexity of present science production and communication. Research support services, research data management, or research information management are emerging roles, among others, sustaining an open path where libraries thrive to be more collaborative while looking forward to establishing new partnerships.

The proliferation of geospatial data demands the engagement of information organizations, such as academic libraries, for their management and diffusion. The purpose of this paper is to reveal issues related to the development of geospatial collections and explore their efficient use as required by the current information environment. Thus, a research conducted on 363 websites of academic libraries worldwide and 136 websites maintaining geospatial collections were identified. The research questions were formed based on international bibliography and we applied a content analysis method for data extraction. Findings show a significant activity of academic libraries in providing GIS services in accordance with high rates in user education programs, creating the use of geospatial collection and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services more effective. Nevertheless, through their websites we obtained poor response to communicate geospatial collections policies. The majority of the academic libraries surveyed in this study provide commercial software to their users for managing data on a local level, while the minority of library patrons are able to use geospatial data via remote access. This paper explores aspects of development in geospatial collections in academic libraries that have not been adequately raised. Additionally, we provide an overview of geospatial collections worldwide.

“…Faculty and students associated with both levels of graduate education participate in the activities of the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) and the American College Personnel Association (ACPA). And the field supports a sizeable group of journals and allied publications, but only rarely do these include an article or report on scholarly communications or libraries (Bray and Major, 2011;Lincoln, 2010).…”

The academic library and its digital transformation are ignored in graduate programs of higher education administration, which train a significant number of postsecondary professionals. A course in scholarly communications in the digital age recently introduced at one such program includes an invitation to aspiring administrators to study the contributions of the library to the ways that faculty members are coming to understand and capitalize on new technologies in teaching, research, and career development. The library is represented in the course in its traditional and new roles. It is an essential campus location for attention to what technological change means for faculty work.
