Implementing a Digital Scholarship Centre at the University of Oslo

Academic libraries are being forced to innovate in the face of the increasingly digitalized nature of research. The creation of digital scholarship centres or programs is one way academic libraries are attempting to meet the evolving needs of researchers. Such centres are often highly heterogeneous, and implementation can be challenging. In this paper, we discuss the experiences gained during the development of the University of Oslo’s Digital Scholarship Centre and some of the challenges that remain to be resolved. We hope that these experiences can aid other academic libraries in their work towards developing new services that support digital research activities.
