Perceptions of the Library: Librarians
Feedback received is generally positive Varies according to level of engagement
Concern that faculty do not understand library ‘Staff never cease to be amazed at what we
can actually provide/help them with.’ (UK survey respondent)
Changing role of the library
![Page 9: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Perceptions of the Library: Faculty The library is not just a place to the faculty, but the
services we provide. (US respondent) Staff believe that young people are inherently tech
savvy and do not need any additional guidance, instruction, or introduction to library resources. (Scandinavian respondent)
Academic staff tend to reply on their liaison for teaching database and searching skills, but believe that they can teach the importance of using scholarly material and evaluating sources (UK respondent)

Faculty Response to Integrated Research Services
Research support usually includes: Open access, bibliometrics, literature searching
Survey found that support for Open Access publishing and particularly for self-archiving were relatively more important to Scandinavian respondents than those in the UK or US
Relationships are key!
![Page 20: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Areas to Enhance Future Value: Research partnerships
Support with grant applications Inclusion of the cost of the resources needed
for the project Assistance with data management
Data Specialist Librarian
![Page 21: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Areas to Enhance Future Value: Research Partnerships
Data Specialist Librarian More value from research data
Generates more research partnerships Success factors
‘frame [the service] from a faculty perspective rather than from a librarian perspective’
Direct response to researchers’ individual needs
![Page 22: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Marketing the Library
![Page 23: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Librarians’ Views: Visibility of the Library and Library Services
Communication Wide range of traditional communication channels
Presence at departmental meetings Engage with departmental leadership Representation in university committee structure “Whether this is a good idea or not (and ignoring
practicalities), I almost think that turning off all of our electronic resources for a day or three would increase the perceived value of the library” (UK respondent)
![Page 24: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Librarians’ Views: Personal relationships
Bring trust Make it possible to tailor services to specific
needs Offer a response to a direct problem
![Page 25: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Recommendations
![Page 26: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Recommendations to Individual Librarians
Know your audience – research their needs, discuss with them
Go beyond the comfort zone – expand skills and knowledge beyond librarianship
![Page 27: Sage wfu charleston presentation](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051609/5463b2ecb4af9f4e3f8b461d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Recommendations to Libraries and their Managers
Skills assessment & staff development at your institution
Free up time for new demands on librarians Document and share the process of building
partnerships – for the benefits of other librarians at your institution (Wiki-based document?)
Start to collect evidence of value Success stories? Quantifiable evidence?
