Faculty Profile Systems: New Services and Roles for Libraries
Abstract
Many universities have implemented faculty pro le systems that capture faculty and
researchers’ scholarly outputs and activities. These systems usually include public
pro les and tools to help nd collaborators or experts. They may be used to create
reports for faculty annual reviews or for promotion and tenure, or to assist faculty
with complying with open access policies by facilitating deposit in institutional
repositories. In many universities, libraries play a central role in the implementation
of these systems. This paper explores three case studies showing how and why libraries
came into this role and examines some of the consequences of this trend.
