In Context

摘要

For Hilary Davis, a biologist turned librarian, academic libraries are living organisms that must constantly adapt to changes in the scholarly ecosystem. As physical science collection manager at North Carolina State University (NCSU) Libraries, she's a prime agent in that evolution.rnKathleen Brown, NCSU Libraries director for planning and research, calls Davis a pioneer in the use of analytics. But for Davis, detailed statistical analysis of the collection is only half the job. The other half is understanding "the research and teaching cultures" the science collection supports.
