Raising the visibility of your institution and researchers

Description

The rapid growth of the international higher education system has put colleges and universities under pressure. An ever-rising number of institutions are chasing a limited pool of talent and funding. In this competitive environment, raising the profile of an institution is crucial. And according to Medical Information Specialist Guus van den Brekel, libraries are ideally placed to help their institutions achieve this goal.

 

Guus, who works at the Central Medical Library at the Netherlands’ University Medical Center in Groningen (UMCG), explains: “More and more, institutions need to showcase themselves and prove their societal relevance and impact, and researchers need to be more visible.  I think there is a lot that libraries can do to help in this area.”
