16 · Survey Results: Executive Summary
Certainly, responding institutions appear to rec-
ognize that the nature of the technology dovetails
with the function of academic research libraries, of-
fering a novel means of engaging students, faculty,
and affiliated researchers that intersects with both
emerging library roles like data management and
traditional functions related to information access
and preservation—and, as researchers increasingly
incorporate the technology throughout the research
lifecycle across disciplines, it will become more and
more necessary for libraries to provide expertise and
other forms of support in this area.
