University libraries - between service providers and research institutions

摘要: In the last years process of generating, disseminating, and archiving new knowledge has changed fundamentally. Beside increasing amount that needs to be processed, paradigms for search, access, exchange have evolved: digital information is discovered, interlinked with curated databases, commented upon, adapted, shared in Web-based collaborative research infrastructures. And this does not only concern classic scientific publications monographs, journals, or conference proceedings, but also data form models simulations, experimental sets results analyses. This way creating often referred as e-Science (enhanced science), heavily relies on modern Web management 2.0 technologies. order reflect these changes university libraries dedicated infrastructure provider need get active: besides handling exponentially growing rather heterogeneous material (the deluge) users customizable personalizable tools value-added services support effective efficient utilization resources But key providing a solid foundation all such obviously lies comprehensive qualitatively sound indexing textual non-textual resources, which, however, usually manual efforts thus hard provide today’s limited budgets. paper we will take closer look at current change challenges develop advanced methods provisioning. We argue become an integral part library structures strongly interdisciplinary nature.
