Librarians as Stakeholders in Managing the Research Enterprise
Sponsored by Elsevier
Recorded on 06/08/2017Posted in Scholarly Communication and Research
Summary:
Increasingly, librarians are called to use their skills, such as data curation, to help Research Offices collect, organize, and analyze information on institutional research activity, making them a key player in the management of the research enterprise. However, in an age of both information overload and siloed systems, aggregating and accurately reporting on research output can be a tall order.
Relied upon by more than 225 institutions worldwide, Elsevier’s Pure is a comprehensive system-of-record for research information management. Built upon a reliable, highly-structured data model that integrates data from both internal systems and external sources, Pure allows librarians to provide data and analysis that enables fact-driven decisions throughout their universities.
Join us on June 8th to hear Mariel Christian, Senior Librarian, RTI International, and James Toon, Pure Customer Consultant, Elsevier, discuss how Pure can be leveraged as a tool to take an enduring stake in managing the research enterprise.
