Researchers identification of core roles for librarians in 5 years time

The relative importance of librarians' roles in 5 years time: the views of library directors, other library staff, and researchers (per cent)

Librarians and Users 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 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.
