Miggie Pickton gave this presentation at the Career Development Group’s National Conference 2011. The theme this year was : "The Practical Professional", Monday 21st November 2011
Objectives: To explore potential collaborations between academic libraries and Clinical Translational Science Award (CTSA)-funded institutes with respect to
data management training and support.
Methods: The National Institutes of Health CTSAs have established a well-funded, crucial infrastructure supporting large-scale collaborative biomedical research. This infrastructure is also valuable for smaller, more localized research projects. While infrastructure and corresponding support is often available for large, well-funded projects, these services have generally not been extended to smaller projects. This is a missed opportunity on both accounts. Academic libraries providing data services can leverage CTSA-based resources, while CTSA-funded institutes can extend their reach beyond large biomedical projectsto serve the long tail of research data.
Results: A year-long series of conversations with the Indiana CTSI Data Management Team resulted in resource sharing, consensus building about key issues in data management, provision of expert feedback on a data management training curriculum, and several avenues for future collaborations.
Conclusions:Data management training for graduate students and early career researchers is a vital area of need that would benefit from the combined infrastructure and expertise of translational science institutes and academic libraries. Such partnerships can leverage the instructional, preservation, and access expertise in academic libraries, along with the storage, security, and analytical expertise in translational science institutes to improve the management, protection, and access of valuable research data.
Transforming liaison roles for academic librarians is critical, as universities are moving to position themselves to meet the demands of a more competitive national research environment. At La Trobe University, librarians are repackaging current research support services to streamline and incorporate these more efficiently into the researcher’s life cycle, in order to support the University’s research initiatives
Presentation and workshop notes from session on how to apply the Researcher Development Framework to library and information service provision for research/e support
Uses case studies of different types of researchers.

The research environment is challenging libraries to raise their game by providing higher-end services in response to technological change and policy developments. Librarians are being urged to move from service-as-support to a partnership model involving “deep collaboration” across the whole knowledge lifecycle. But libraries are no longer the “go-to” place for researchers. Perceived as dispensers of goods, more geared to students and education, they struggle to gain take-up for research offerings. Innovative practitioners are using various strategies to reposition themselves as key players in the research arena, notably space-as-service strategies, which can bring researchers back to the physical library and improve visibility of virtual services.

2. Outline
• Context: research at The University of Northampton
• Research support partners
• What do researchers want?
• Research support strategy
• Supporting the research process – some examples
• The research informed practitioner
• Where next?

3. Research at Northampton
• About The University of Northampton:
– Achieved university status and research degree
awarding powers in 2005
– Ambitious plans to develop research capacity
• 200+ research students, ??? research active staff –
numbers are rising
• Increased focus on supporting the research community
• Like other universities... thinking about satisfying funders,
increasing research impact, developing research
environment, the REF...
4. Information support for research
• Research Support Specialist - new post created in 2007 as
part of new converged Department of Information Services
(INS), tasked with:
– Prioritising needs of researchers within Information
Services strategy and planning
– Leading on services to support researchers e.g.
information skills training, repository, REF
– Representing Information Services on university
research committees e.g. Research Committee;
Research Degrees Committee; Research Support Forum
– Providing point of contact and signpost to other library,
IT and non-departmental colleagues...

6. Serving the research community
Collectively we serve a range of researchers:
• Research students, research active staff, research leaders
Plus those who support them:
• Research administrators, research managers, research
trainers
And those who employ them:
• Directorate, Deans, line managers, „the University‟
The needs of these stakeholders will vary e.g. depending on
their priorities, their accountabilities, their career stage and
the demands of their specific project

12. INS Research Support Strategy 2008-2013
In response to research community needs we identified five
principle objectives:
1. To provide access to research-level physical and electronic
resources and to the technologies necessary to exploit them.
2. To provide individual and collective support and training
opportunities for researchers.
3. To collaborate with other Schools and Departments in the
support of research processes at the university and in the
pursuance of business and community engagement.
4. To provide appropriate physical and virtual spaces to
support research activity.
5. To ensure the engagement of Information Services staff in
research and innovative practice and in the dissemination
of this practice.

23. Research in practice
• Doing and using your own research delivers benefits:
– To the individual: e.g. new variety and interest;
increased job satisfaction; development of new skills;
support for professional development; understanding of
research process
– To the institution: contribution to research targets;
evidence for value or impact; support for decision-
making; problem solving; service improvement;
engagement with users at a new level
– For those involved in research support: improved
credibility and empathy with researchers
23
25. Organisational change
• New Vice Chancellor
• Professional Services Restructuring:
– Deconvergence with IT
– Staff cuts...
– ... but more resource for research support
• Continue to monitor strategic aims
• Continue to nurture professional relationships
• Continue to listen and respond to the research community
25
26. In planning...
• Upgrade NECTAR software to meet REF requirements
• Implementation of Research Data Policy through advocacy
and training
• Overhaul of research support web pages
• Investigate potential Current Research Information System
(CRIS) – joint project with Research Office
• Development of two new Northampton Open Journals, and
shared ownership of one with another university
Making our service useful to Northampton‟s
research community.
