Abstract
Description
Book review: Starr Hoffman (ed). London: Facet Publishing, 2016. ISBN 978-1783300-495. 176pp, £49.95stg, pbk. In this lively and diverse account of the broadening role of research support in
academic libraries, editor Starr Hoffman makes the case for libraries to think collaboratively and creatively in a rapidly changing environment. In the preface, she argues that all sizes and kinds of academic libraries are shifting to broader forms of research support, ‘research’ being taken to refer to a wide variety of scholarship across all disciplines. The book sets out to consider new models of research support, and to inspire practitioners to think more deeply about how we identify, and then successfully meet, the needs of our particular user base. In this, the contributors have done a good job.
