Ithaka S+R, the strategy and research arm of Ithaka, has announced a new programme, Research Support Services for Scholars. This programme will comprise a series of discipline-specific research projects aimed to provide critically needed research about the evolving behaviour and needs of scholars to the information support service providers who work with them.
Based on this research, Ithaka S+R will make recommendations regarding the future of support services for scholars and how information service providers - such as libraries, computing support centers, scholarly societies, and publishers - can support their needs.
Ithaka S+R will begin this international research programme with two projects - a research project in chemistry, with support from JISC and an emphasis on the needs of UK chemists; and a research project in history, with support from the National Endowment of the Humanities and an emphasis on US historians.
