Abstract

The changes in the means of scientific communications obligate university libraries to provide new services. To accommodate researchers, librarians are improving their abilities, collaborating with even more actors and sustaining open access. With the aid of a list of possible services, based on specialized literature, this work aim to quantify and evaluate the research support given by Spanish university libraries. Polls demonstrate the emergence of new services and infrastructures. However this tools are not usually standardized, disseminated nor evaluated. Furthermore, this resulting investment in staff and ICT has created a gap between universities.
