The document introduces the concept of a "Libriome Research Core", which is a proposed library research core at the University of Michigan. It summarizes that a library research core would provide centralized shared resources like other research cores, with a focus on information resources and expertise in areas like discovery, access, assessment, organization, synthesis, and dissemination of information. It then provides examples of specific services a library research core could offer, such as support for grant compliance, intellectual property, data services, data visualization, new publication types, research impact and promotion, and collaborations. The document advocates that a library could function as a valuable research core similar to other institutional cores.

6. What do research cores have in common?
“What is a core facility? … core facilities are centralized shared
research resources that provide access to instruments,
technologies, services, as well as expert consultation and other
services to scientific and clinical investigators.”
NIH: Frequently Asked Questions: Core Facilities:
<https://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/core_facilities_faqs.htm>
