What will libraries be when they grow up? Maybe the answer is that
the librarian becomes the library.

9 areas of high skills gap & high importance
- Preserving research outputs
- Data management and curation
- Complying with research funder mandates
- Discipline-appropriate data manipulation tools
- Data mining
- Metadata
- Preserving project records
- Sources of research funding
- Developing metadata schema and advice on discipline standards

researchers … showed little interest in making
use of information skills training from the library. They are confident in their
awareness and understanding of both the generic and the specialist tools that are relevant to
their research area

6. Support for managing research
data

Relatively few researchers have the knowledge or skills to manage their data effectively, and only a small number of people have the specialist data management and curation skills combined with the subject domain expertise often required in order to provide effective support to researchers in the course of their work.

Emma, please insert NMR [nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy] data here! where are they? and for this compound, just make up an elemental analysis.

Is it oknot to
know theanswer?
[Subject Librarians] cannot be expert in themselves in each new capability, but knowing when to call in a colleague, or how to describe appropriate expert capabilities to faculty, will be key to the new liaison role. Just as researchers are often working in teams to leverage compatible expertise, liaison librarians will need to be team builders among library experts where this advances client research.
