Value of research to library staff
• Research is a core value of most tertiary institutions – PBRF, partnerships, industry and community reporting
• Low visibility & profile of service units – LAs, library• Lack of understanding of modern librarian role• Restructuring, amalgamation & reduction of roles• Untapped funding opportunities• Reliable evidence of effective practices & outcomes • Justification for change• Professional credibility• Career, promotion

Value of collaboration
• Movements towards interdisciplinary research• Limited resources, efficiency. Access to data &
equipment• Networking & relationships – enjoyment!• Complementary skills & strengths• Grow personal & professional capacity, capability –
shared learning• Outcomes – academic (increased publications) &
personal

Librarians’ distinct research positions
Librarians…• possess diverse, yet complementary, knowledge &
skill sets• bridge the student & tutor/lecturer divide• observe the links between learning, teaching &
research• operate across, beyond or between disciplines• have opportunity to reflect on teaching, learning &
research practices & outcomes
![Page 12: Collaborative Research at the](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816204550346895dd229d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
