This report presents the findings of a systematic study of
the value of the services that libraries in the UK provide to researchers, and
of the contributions that libraries from a wide range of institutions make to
institutional research performance. The findings are summarized in the form of
map which sets out the key characteristics and behaviors of libraries, and the
links between them and the performance of individual researchers and
institutions. Libraries have changed and are changing, developing new roles and
services. The detailed findings are thus presented in the form of ten stories –
summarized in the map - about the different kinds of value that libraries
provide in supporting both individual researchers and the research performance
of their host institutions.
