When visiting University visitors don’t differentiate between Professional and Academic staff, so we all have a role to step up and support engagement with indigenous visitors/students/staff

What Next? Work in this space supported by Kaiarahi at Te Tumu Herenga, what could we do further? Support implementation of aspects of indigenous data sovereignty in our repositories and systems? How do we provide support to indigenous researchers wrt challenges they face in the university?

Acknowledgement of Country then Welcome from QUT's VP Research DProf Christopher Barner-Kowollik. Importance of support to make research successful and accessible in academia. Mention of DORA and the need to improve the way research and researchers are assessed. You can't see the value of most research in the very short term.

Recordings of the talks will be up later on https://www.youtube.com/@rscday and previous year's talks can be watched as well

Research Support Community Day

Research Support Community Day is a professional development and networking event for librarians who support researchers. The program will include presentations from a variety of speakers including researchers, librarians and e-research specialists. There will be opportunities to network with other librarians and to hear what other Australian research and academic libraries are doing in the research support space. The day is aimed at library staff with an interest in research support and services. You don’t have to be working in the area or have experience in delivering services to researchers; we encourage a wide range of perspectives and welcome all, including those new to academic libraries. Sessions will be facilitated by research librarians who actively develop and deliver research services, and there will be plenty of time for discussion.
