What is it about?

A major challenge for universities worldwide is to support researchers in all aspects of the research lifecycle. This paper examines how Griffith University (Australia) is positioning itself in the emergent field of research data services and, in particular, the key role that the Library is playing in this arena.

Why is it important?

Given the considerable discussion about the role of university librarians in supporting research, this paper provides a case study of a range of library-led and library-supported activities in supporting researchers.

Perspectives

Along with discussing what has worked / is working well, the article provides a critical perspective on areas of less satisfactory progress. It is hoped that this case study will assist those libraries who are just starting the journey in developing their research data capability and capacity.
