Access to scientific literature and information is a absolute necessity for higher education and research. How that information is supplied is of strategic importance to the university and should be discussed as an integrated core of the processes for education, research and Chalmers areas of advance.
From Chalmers library mission
“
Library information resources • Acquire information resources of relevance to Chalmers
research, education and the university areas of advance. • Safeguard sustainable and effective access to electronic and
print resources for those associated with Chalmers. • Perform an annual review of usage related to relevance and
costs. • Ensure access to IT-systems necessary for caring and
maintaining library information resources including coordinating these with internal university systems and national library services.
A learning environment • Provide Chalmers University of Technology with at least one
physical library location. • Supply a good and creative learning environment for Chalmers
researchers and students. • Supply library users with different types of areas for study and
use of computers to access library information resources. • Ensure that electronic resources are available to Chalmers users
at all times and from any location. • Offer support for the use of electronic information resources. • Offer loan services for print collections. • Be an asset for the education at the university providing classes
in information literacy. • Offer a neutral, open, meeting space for students and researchers.
Publishing services and bibliometrics • The library is responsible for coordinating matters concerning
Open Access, electronic publishing and bibliometrics at Chalmers University of Technology.
• Maintain a bibliographic database of Chalmers research publications with the support for full text publishing.
• Ensure effective discovery of Chalmers publications. • Develop services designed to distribute and make university
research results more visible. • Analyze ranking results of interest to Chalmers University of
Technology. • Be an asset to Chalmers management and researchers by
