<br>
If the discovery resources available via the library don’t necessarily serve as
the faculty’s starting line for launching cutting-edge research, then what’s
the next step? Published in early 2017, ITHAKA’s US Library Survey of roughly
1,500 institutional libraries indicated a diminishing expectation that the
institutional library will be the starting point for researchers. What does
that suggest for content providers and for library professionals? How does a
library know that faculty are using something else? How can libraries draw upon
that knowledge of researcher preferences to improve their own services?<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">Super computing is used by scientists and engineers working
on complex research problems. Such investigations may involve data-intensive
applications that consume enormous amounts of bandwidth and computing power.
Instruction on campus is increasingly tied to learning management systems,
which require seamless integration with information resources found in
libraries.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri">At the same time, libraries are expressing numerous concerns
associated with digital asset and access management. Where is the institutional
IT department and just how far can its resources be stretched? This virtual
event will look at systems demands found on campus and offer examples of how
innovative research institutions (and most particularly, their libraries) are
meeting the challenges of talent-sourcing, integration, and support.<span></span></p>
