This accessible and highly practical book provides an introductory
guide to the world of research support in the academic library.
Academic libraries have seen huge changes in recent years thanks to
the increasing availability of information online, but they are now
undergoing another shift. As libraries move away from providing
access to existing information and towards helping users create new
knowledge there is an opportunity for them to develop new services
for the research community. To do this successfully libraries need
to have a knowledgeable workforce who are equipped to provide the
support that researchers need. Information professionals are
increasingly being asked to advise their users on issues such as
open access and research data management but are often doing so
with little or no formal preparation. Outlining the reasons why
library staff need to develop a knowledge of research support and
guiding them through the key information on each topic, The
No-nonsense Guide to Research Support and Scholarly Communication
provides an ideal primer for those who seek to work in this area or
those who have acquired these responsibilities as part of a wider
role.
