As STEM info pros and library managers face the continuing emphasis on virtual library services, they need to find new ways to connect with their users and ensure their current information needs are being addressed. At the same time, publishers are examining new business models that leverage text and data mining, AI and open source tools. In this session, Mary Ellen Bates will share the findings of her conversations with STEM info pros on how libraries can bridge the gap and work more closely with R&D departments to better leverage information resources; and an individual from Springer Nature will discuss new approaches to adding value and increasing discoverability of digital resources.
Learning Objectives:
even more effectively address the new information priorities of their R&D departments
develop new approaches to adding value to their digital resources to engage scientists and researchers
better leverage their information investments, particularly for groups not already familiar with the library or information center
