OCLC Research has announced that it is conducting a survey to gauge innovation trends and priorities in research libraries, in partnership with the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). The survey is being sent to library directors at 47 institutions in Australia and New Zealand.
The survey aims to gain intelligence regarding trends, capacities, and priorities within the research library community. This will help CAUL, OCLC and the OCLC Research Library Partnership to identify strategic opportunities and may reveal areas for possible future collaborations between the partnering organisations. This will inform future joint activities between OCLC and the research library communities in Australia and New Zealand.
This survey follows a similar survey that was sent to library directors at 238 institutions in the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, France, and Italy in 2017. OCLC Research will also survey research libraries in Canada, partnering with the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL).
OCLC Research will be responsible for administering and analysing the survey results, and will share findings with CAUL for dissemination to its members. OCLC Research will share the data gathered in the survey, so that others can make their own interpretations.
