Sibylle Hermann, Data Steward at the Cluster of Excellence SimTech, has been elected as the new Chairperson of the Commission for Research-related Services at the Association of German Librarians (VDB - Verein Deutscher Bibliothekarinnen und Bibliothekare). Her term of office began on 1 July.
“In the next three years of my term of office, I would like to further promote the integration of research-related services into the core business of libraries,” says the new chairwoman.
Research-related services are services provided by libraries to academics to support them in their research activities, for example in managing research data or in the publication process. These services are increasingly in demand by libraries and academics.
The Commission for Research-Related Services deals with current developments in library research services and offers training courses. It also formulates position papers to promote the development of research-related services. The most recent publications were "Research Support in Libraries" (2021, only in German) and "Openness in Libraries" (2022).
