Book Description
This paper is intended to provide interested librarians with a basic knowledge of research networks (as opposed to library networks), focusing specifically on the manner in which they can be used by the international library community to support library functions and improve access to bibliographic information, as well as the technical and policy issues involved in research network use. (Research networks are defined as networks developed within the academic community to provide the infrastructure for a variety of networking tasks, while library networks are designed specifically to support the nuts and bolts operations of libraries.) While major projects involving library/research network connectivity are discussed, the primary focus of the study is the potential for research network use and available standards. After an introductory initial chapter, the second chapter provides an overview of network concepts, including network types and protocols. Library applications of research networks are addressed in the third chapter, including applications for bibliographic provision, document supply, and technical services. In the fourth chapter, library and research network projects in North America, Europe, Australia, and Japan are described. Technical and policy issues, including governance, intellectual property rights, appropriate use, access, and staffing, are considered in the fifth chapter. Chapter 5 also discusses the outlook for developing nations; chapter 6 looks briefly at future network initiatives; and chapter 7 summarizes benefits of and obstacles to library use of research networks. Relevant standards are listed; and the appendix provides background information (i.e., name, date started, purpose, location, configuration, governance, financing, membership, and connections) for networks in North America, Europe, Eastern Europe, Australasia, South East Asia, Southern Asia, the Far East, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa.

Book Description
This volume focuses on practical and empirical accounts of organizational change in the social sciences and impacts upon the professional skills, collections, and services within social science libraries. Section one focuses upon the question of interdisciplinary within social science libraries and the role of libraries to both react to and facilitate paradigm shifts in research and science. Section two focuses on the rise of data as a resource to be collected and shared within social science libraries. The third section focuses on the role of librarians to facilitate the development of social organizations that develop around new technologies and research communities. Changed role of librarians within social science libraries Describes new developments of social organizations Essential for librarians

Book Description
Beyond providing space for data science activities, academic libraries are often overlooked in the data science landscape that is emerging at academic research institutions. Although some academic libraries are collaborating in specific ways in a small subset of institutions, there is much untapped potential for developing partnerships. As library and information science roles continue to evolve to be more data-centric and interdisciplinary, and as research using a variety of data types continues to proliferate, it is imperative to further explore the dynamics between libraries and the data science ecosystems in which they are a part. The Handbook of Research on Academic Libraries as Partners in Data Science Ecosystems provides a global perspective on current and future trends concerning the integration of data science in libraries. It provides both a foundational base of knowledge around data science and explores numerous ways academicians can reskill their staff, engage in the research enterprise, contribute to curriculum development, and help build a stronger ecosystem where libraries are part of data science. Covering topics such as data science initiatives, digital humanities, and student engagement, this book is an indispensable resource for librarians, information professionals, academic institutions, researchers, academic libraries, and academicians.
