Dear colleagues,
Please see below for a number of opportunities to help shape the future collaborative funding landscape which we thought might be of interest to members of this list.
Research Libraries UK, in partnership with the Arts and Humanities Research Council, have recently commissioned a scoping study to investigate the current and potential role of research and academic libraries as partners in, and leaders of, academic and scholarly research. Further details about this project are available on the RLUK website.
There are a couple of forthcoming events associated with the project that might be of interest to members of this list to which we warmly invite colleagues. Although UK focused, international colleagues would be also be welcome to attend these and to share their experiences of collaborative working.
Further details are below and please do not hesitate to get in contact if you have any questions about these events or this wider research.
An open workshop during the RLUK conference
Wednesday 17 March 15.30-17.00
For further information and to register: please visit the RLUK webpage.
This interactive session offers an opportunity for those working within academic and research libraries to learn about and contribute to the scoping study being undertaken by Evidence Base for RLUK. The session will explore some of the opportunities and challenges of working in partnership with members of the academic community, and how academic and research libraries might continue to expand their roles as research partners and leaders. This session will also include a project update and a summary of its early findings.
Invitation to complete survey: the role of academic and research libraries as partners in, and leaders of, academic and scholarly research
As part of this research, we invite you to take part in a survey. It should take around 10-15 minutes to complete and will ask about your experiences and perceptions of collaborative working between academic and research libraries, and members of the academic community around research projects. We are specifically interested in exploring the current role and future potential of academic and research libraries as active research partners and leaders, i.e. being recognised as a collaborator or leader in a research project (e.g. a Co-I or PI or equivalent).
We are interested in survey responses from:
library staff who have engaged in research partnerships with academics – and library staff who have not yet done so
academics who have engaged in research partnerships involving an academic or research library – and academics who have not yet done so
research facilitators
university leaders
funders
other stakeholders with an interest in this topic.
Although primarily UK focused, we would also like to hear about international examples of research partnerships involving academic and research library staff.
In this context, academic and research libraries may include information or cultural organisations which are integral to, or closely associated with, an academic or research library such as a university museum, gallery, archive or special collection. This study includes research in the arts, humanities and social sciences and beyond, and funded by a range of organisations.
