Provider, partner, pioneer: digital scholarship and the role of the research library

An international symposium

Monday 14 October 2019, British Library

This symposium explored the nature and extent of digital scholarship occurring within research libraries across the international research library community. It brought together representatives from international research library associations, funders, the academic community, and global-library collectives to discuss areas of potential cross-sector and interdisciplinary collaboration, and the routes and networks through which this might be achieved.
