The Future of Research and the Research Library
The basic questions that we want to try to give answers to in this report are
Is there a future for the research library?
Which possible roles can the research library adopt?
Can we draw a roadmap to help us move towards a new desired future?
We hope with this report to provide input to strategic thinking and development both at the level of DEFF as a central agency shaping the Danish research library sector and to work at the institutions and organisations that are part of the sector. The analysis should provide food for thought but also more concrete checklists of tensions, issues and processes that need to be handled. The process that underlies the writing of the report has already involved the sector in two workshops and has thus contributed to starting local processes of reflection. In an appendix we also give an example of a roadmap (in outline) based on one of the future potential roles for the research library that we see.
