The five-year period 2018-2022 promises to bring radical changes to the research landscape.
LIBER’s Vision for the research landscape in 2022 is that the role of research libraries will lie in Powering Sustainable Knowledge in the Digital Age. Our strategy focuses on those developments where a leading role by LIBER will bring the most added value.
In 2022, we see a world 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;
- The cultural heritage of tomorrow is built on today’s digital information.
LIBER is working on these themes via its Three Strategic Directions — Innovative Scholarly Communication, Digital Skills & Services and Research Infrastructure — and adds further value and support through five key enablers.
The development of the Strategy has been guided by LIBER’s Mission and Values.
