The Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), and EDUCAUSE are releasing Stewarding the Scholarly and Cultural Record in the fourth installment of Mapping the Current Landscape of Research Library Engagement with Emerging Technologies in Research and Learning, which explores several of the emerging technologies that pose new challenges and offer new solutions to managing digital content throughout its life cycle. The section released addresses the library’s role in advancing open research and publishing practices, reinforcing integrity and trust in the scholarly and cultural record, and preserving the evolving scholarly and cultural record.
The full report by Sarah Lippincott will be published in its entirety this spring by the Association of Research Libraries (ARL), the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI), and EDUCAUSE. Conducted before the COVID-19 pandemic, the study is projected as an excellent resource for research libraries as they identify strategic opportunities to adopt and engage with emerging technologies. Lippincott’s research considers policies and practices already underway, the ways in which research library values and professional expertise inform and shape library engagement with technologies, the ways library and library worker roles are being reconceptualised, and the implications of a range of technologies on how the library fulfills its mission.
