“…While the library's potential role in supporting methodological learning remains underexplored in the literature, 8 there is evidence to suggest that libraries may serve as valuable partners or facilitators for the community of practice model of peer learning and support. 9 Several studies recognize the community of practice model as distinctly valuable for advancing the skills and competencies central to qualitative approaches. 10 Communities of practice convey disciplinary norms, foster knowledge and skills, and provide intellectual scaffolding.…”

This study investigates the needs of qualitative researchers and the ways in which libraries may address some of those needs. Using qualitative interview methods, we conducted 10 semi-structured interviews with individuals from two stakeholder groups: researchers (faculty and doctoral students) and librarians. Among the variety of needs that emerged, ranging from methods training to identifying sources of funding, we discuss two implications for library practice in detail: (1) the need for depth in library resources on qualitative methodology, and (2) potential ways for the library to support communities of practice around qualitative research tools and methods.

“…Zhang et al (2015) som studerat hur informationsspecialister kan bidra i DH-satsningar understryker dessutom expertis inom lagring och tillgängliggörande, publicering, söktjänster, undervisning och innovation. Även Green (2014) som gjort en fallstudie kring DH på fem bibliotek i USA redovisar att samarbetet med biblioteket är en förutsättning för ett optimalt genomfört arbete. Wong (2016) påtalar styrkan i att samla experter och specialister från olika områden som en del av att ta DH till dess fulla potential.…”

Digital humaniora utmanar biblioteket 1 IntroduktionDigitalisering av källmaterial och arbetssätt har inneburit nya möjligheter och utmaningar för alla delar av samhället, och inte minst i akademiska sammanhang. Resurser som tidigare enbart funnits tillgängliga i pappersform blir i allt högre utsträckning fritt tillgängliga på Internet, långt utanför bibliotekens väggar, och i format som kan läsas och tolkas av datorprogram och algoritmer. ProblemformuleringFör nio år sedan beskrevs digital humaniora (DH) som "the next big thing" och begreppet har senare liknats vid en allegori för framtidens humaniora (Liu, 2012). Idag möter vi som biblioteksanställda begreppet i interaktionen med såväl forskning som utbildning. Och arbetet med att förstå de utmaningar och möjligheter som DH innebär för biblioteket har fortlöpt parallellt i initiativ med olika perspektiv på Linköpings universitetsbibliotek (LiUB) och på Uppsala universitetsbibliotek (UUB).Syftet med den här artikeln är att ge en intressant och nyanserad bild av de utmaningar och möjligheter vi ser framför oss. Och vi har sökt erfarenheter från kollegor i Norden och i andra delar av världen för att svara till frågeställningarna:• Hur kan vi som bibliotek förhålla oss till begreppet DH?• Hur kan vi stötta forskning och utbildning med inslag av DH? Linköpings universitetsbibliotek (LiUB)LiUB består av tre campusbibliotek förlagda till Linköping och Norrköping, samt Byggmästare John Matssons bibliotek vilket är förlagt till Lidingö i Stockholm. Det senare biblioteket ingår inte här.

“…Attebury et al () reported on academic librarians attempting to form a CoP for professional development among themselves, but more successful CoPs tended to involve those other than librarians. Green () described academic librarians joining a digital humanities CoP. Other researchers have described creating CoPs based on instruction (Willey, ), information literacy instruction (Wang, Bruce, & Hughes, ), and faculty learning (Mi, ).…”

This investigation of new approaches to improving collaboration, user/librarian experiences, and sustainability for virtual reference services (VRS) reports findings from a grant project titled “Cyber Synergy: Seeking Sustainability between Virtual Reference and Social Q&A Sites” (Radford, Connaway, & Shah, –2014). In‐depth telephone interviews with 50 VRS librarians included questions on collaboration, referral practices, and attitudes toward Social Question and Answer (SQA) services using the Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan, ). The Community of Practice (CoP) (Wenger, ; Davies, ) framework was found to be a useful conceptualization for understanding VRS professionals' approaches to their work. Findings indicate that participants usually refer questions from outside of their area of expertise to other librarians, but occasionally refer them to nonlibrarian experts. These referrals are made possible because participants believe that other VRS librarians are qualified and willing collaborators. Barriers to collaboration include not knowing appropriate librarians/experts for referral, inability to verify credentials, and perceived unwillingness to collaborate. Facilitators to collaboration include knowledge of appropriate collaborators who are qualified and willingness to refer. Answers from SQA services were perceived as less objective and authoritative, but participants were open to collaborating with nonlibrarian experts with confirmation of professional expertise or extensive knowledge.
