- Library Research Support in Queensland: A Survey Richardson, Joanna Nolan-Brown, Therese Loria, Pat Bradbury, Stephanie Research Libraries Foreign Countries Library Research Institutional Research Organizational Change Library Services Library Administration Institutional Characteristics Organizational Objectives Organizational Theories Academic Libraries Educational Practices Research Methodology University libraries worldwide are reconceptualising the ways in which they support the research agenda in their respective institutions. This paper is based on a survey completed by member libraries of the Queensland University Libraries Office of Cooperation (QULOC), the findings of which may be informative for other university libraries. After briefly examining major emerging trends in research support, the paper discusses the results of the survey specifically focussing on support for researchers and the research agenda in their institutions. All responding libraries offer a high level of research support, however, eResearch support, in general, and research data management support, in particular, have the highest variance among the libraries, and signal possible areas for growth. Areas for follow-up, benchmarking and development are suggested. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
