Institutional Partnerships• University of Toronto Office of Research:
– tracks and promotes university research & researchers– lots of data, but needs strong framework for it all
• Library:– Focus on Research + T-Space + catalogue
= strong framework for discovery and preservation– Needs lots of data for this framework
• Variety of models to assist faculty in creating profiles:– Liaison librarians; library staff; work-study students;
administrative assistants• Together we hope to build a strong researcher tool
