European Association of Research Libraries (LIBER) Releases 2018-2022 Strategy

The new strategy released today is titled, “Research Libraries Powering Sustainable Knowledge in the Digital Age — into action. ”

From the European Association of Research Libraries (LIBER):

Three Strategic Directions are at the heart of our Strategy, positioning research libraries as Platforms for Innovative Scholarly Communication, Hubs for Digital Skills & Services and Partners in Research Infrastructure. Activities under each direction will provide direct support to LIBER’s network of 400+ libraries.

In 2022, we see the research landscape as one where:

• Open Access is the predominant form of publishing;

• Research Data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR);

• Digital Skills underpin a more open and transparent research life cycle;

• Research Infrastructure is participatory, tailored and scaled to the needs of the diverse disciplines;

• Tomorrow’s cultural heritage is built on today’s information

We have set up Working Groups to cover key topics related to our Strategy:

• Architecture;
• Copyright & Legal Matters;
• Innovative Metrics;
• Leadership;
• Open Access;
• Digital Humanities & Digital Cultural Heritage;
• Research Data Management
