Librarians are playing an integral role in enhancing the careers of researchers, and researchers are interacting with librarians to learn about the range of library services that support scientific impact. As librarians take on these challenges, the library is also entering into collaborations with the Research Office and at senior leadership levels throughout the institution to offer new services to help researchers raise their reputations. In Journey to Research Impact, speakers will share how technology, information and researcher metrics initiatives are currently serving researchers and how they are contributing to the research enterprise. Speakers: “Rewarding the Tool Builders” - Emerging technologies and digital initiatives to support research software developers Christopher Erdmann, Head Librarian, Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics “Managing Researcher Reputation and Metrics” – Tools and metrics used to manage researcher productivity, collaboration and performance Emily McElroy, Director of the McGoogan Library of Medicine, University of Nebraska Medical Center “Vision of the Researcher Journey” – An exploration of pressures upon and the needs of researchers throughout their careers Wouter Haak, Vice President of Product Strategy, Elsevier REGISTER HERE: www.surveymonkey.com/s/2015HunterForum SPACE IS LIMITED and early registration is suggested.
