The conference will explore the pivotal role the library plays in supporting the university’s research enterprise to adapt to new technologies and workflows and realising the potential any disruption it will offer.

The last 12 months or so has reshaped the research landscape: forcing collaborations to take place virtually, limiting access to fieldwork and labs and disrupting access to libraries, special collections and other research resources essential to many disciplines.

Themes include:
• Data science and the role of libraries
• Monographs and long-form scholarly works
• Open and faster scholarly communication in a post-COVID-19 world
• Evolving research collections
• Future researcher environments
• Research continuity and resilience.
