Challenges and Opportunities for Research Stakeholders Where to lead and where to get the heck out of the way What can the institution do to facilitate collaborations with international research nodes? How can the library cut through the thicket of new papers and new journals to help patrons find materials that further their research and pedagogy? What can the sponsored research office do to bring diverse teams from across disciplines together on grant proposals? What can the library do to ensure that resources in adjacent disciplines are obvious and discoverable to researchers? What infrastructure can the library identify and/or provide to promote good data sharing practices?
