Pressure points
The majority of researchers in all disciplines have adapted readily to the widespread availability of digital content,
accessible directly from their desktops. Researchers are eager for more digital content and libraries are eager to provide it.
But while nearly all researchers think funding the library should be a high or top priority for their institution, librarians indicate that it is not always easy to secure top-level support.
Hence academic libraries receive a relatively modest proportion of their institutions’ budgets and cannot deliver all they would wish to.
Limited funding emphasises the tension between competing demands for library resources: many researchers perceive that libraries give greater priority to support for teaching and learning rather than to research,
something that many librarians acknowledge.
Key Points
There are significant differences of perceptions and views between researchers and librarians, and differences in awareness of key issues. They agree that communication channels need to be improved. How most effectively to achieve that is a major challenge.
The research community – in the widest sense – is using social networking technologies to exchange and share research-based information. The role of libraries in these developments is at present ill-defined.
Researchers may not readily recognize that the content they receive on their desktop is provided through the library, or be aware of the administrative overheads involved. This presents a branding and marketing challenge for libraries.
