How do you do? And where do we go from here?
Understanding the everyday life of researchers in order to support
   their research: Library collaboration and partnership with
                 researchers at Lund University

      ANN-SOFIE ZETTERGREN, SOCIAL SCIENCES FACULTY LIBRARY,
                         LUND UNIVERSITY
In the beginning…
‘- Cheshire Puss… Would you tell me,
please, which way I ought to go from
here?’

‘- That depends a good deal on where
you want to get to,’ said the Cat.

‘- I don't much care where—’said Alice.

‘- Then it doesn't matter which way you
go,’ said the Cat.

‘-- so long as I get SOMEWHERE,’ Alice
added as an explanation.

‘- Oh, you're sure to do that,’ said the
Cat, ‘if you only walk long enough.’
How do you do?
We wanted to explore:
• the researchers’ everyday life
• the key obstacles in their research processes
NOT
• evaluate library support, services or resources


… in order to shift focus and develop the library support for
Lund University researchers
How did we do it?
A threefolded project design was used:
a) a literature review focusing on definitions and examples
   of research support services, as well as the needs of
   researchers and their experiences of support services
b) a survey to get an overview of the support services
   offered today at LUB, the decentralized library network
   at Lund University
c) focus group interviews with researchers to investigate
   key obstacles in their research processes
How to think about research?

What did they talk about?
• limited time
• the need of funding
• the everyday fragmentation
• networks
• information overload
• the need of organization
Major conclusions – translated back to
the library context
Availability
• Strategic ways of being updated and informed
• Reliable intuitive systems
Visibility
• Publishing and availability of research
• Developing competences and workflows
Proximity
• Flexible support for the individual researcher
• Identification and creation of networks
Un-intended discoveries

                 • The interview sessions as get-
                   togethers
                 • Focus group interviews as a
                   model for getting to know your
                   users/community
                 • Shift of focus as another
                   source of information
                 • There’s so much to learn from
                   one another
What do we do next?
Collaboration and strategic partnership
• Librarian + researcher
• Librarian + librarian
• Librarian + administrator


University/faculty/department level


Strategic documents and breakfast seminars
Back to Alice…
‘…it's no use going back to
yesterday, because I was a different
person then.’

Zettergren - How do you do? Understanding the everyday life of researchers in order to support their research: Library collaboration and partnership with researchers at Lund University

  • 1. How do you do? And where do we go from here? Understanding the everyday life of researchers in order to support their research: Library collaboration and partnership with researchers at Lund University ANN-SOFIE ZETTERGREN, SOCIAL SCIENCES FACULTY LIBRARY, LUND UNIVERSITY
  • 2. In the beginning… ‘- Cheshire Puss… Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?’ ‘- That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat. ‘- I don't much care where—’said Alice. ‘- Then it doesn't matter which way you go,’ said the Cat. ‘-- so long as I get SOMEWHERE,’ Alice added as an explanation. ‘- Oh, you're sure to do that,’ said the Cat, ‘if you only walk long enough.’
  • 3. How do you do? We wanted to explore: • the researchers’ everyday life • the key obstacles in their research processes NOT • evaluate library support, services or resources … in order to shift focus and develop the library support for Lund University researchers
  • 4. How did we do it? A threefolded project design was used: a) a literature review focusing on definitions and examples of research support services, as well as the needs of researchers and their experiences of support services b) a survey to get an overview of the support services offered today at LUB, the decentralized library network at Lund University c) focus group interviews with researchers to investigate key obstacles in their research processes
  • 5. How to think about research? References: BJÖRK, B.-C. 2006. A model of scientific communication as a global distributed information system. InformationResearch, 12. BLASCHKE, P. E. A. O. Forskarservice på BTHs högskolebibliotek. Vilka tjänster är viktigast för forskarna?. Rekommendationer baserade på enkät och intervju.
  • 6. What did they talk about? • limited time • the need of funding • the everyday fragmentation • networks • information overload • the need of organization
  • 7. Major conclusions – translated back to the library context Availability • Strategic ways of being updated and informed • Reliable intuitive systems Visibility • Publishing and availability of research • Developing competences and workflows Proximity • Flexible support for the individual researcher • Identification and creation of networks
  • 8. Un-intended discoveries • The interview sessions as get- togethers • Focus group interviews as a model for getting to know your users/community • Shift of focus as another source of information • There’s so much to learn from one another
  • 9. What do we do next? Collaboration and strategic partnership • Librarian + researcher • Librarian + librarian • Librarian + administrator University/faculty/department level Strategic documents and breakfast seminars
  • 10. Back to Alice… ‘…it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.’
