The 2021 Librarian Futures Report Highlights.
According to the research report by Hayes, Henry, and Shaw (2021), workflow management is increasingly germane to library operations, as patron needs evolve. While academic libraries are dedicated to supporting the educational and research missions of their associated institutions, around the world these undergo transformations, under the impact of digitization and the continued need to remove barriers to knowledge access. Likewise, librarians serve both faculty and student constituencies with differing content usage preferences and profiles. Thus, albeit to different degrees, libraries ensure the success of their patrons, in correspondence to their usage patterns. This takes place on the background of a more than 30% growth in digital resource adoption between 2020 and 2021, in the pandemic period. That can, however, be hampered by a limited user friendliness of library interfaces and systems, as enterprise services become increasingly important for knowledge discovery, such as for literature search purposes. This is also likely to contribute to the information- and productivity-centric transformation of academic libraries, as they become decreasingly perceived solely as book or journal warehouses. Similarly, transitions to Open Access emphasize the growing focus of libraries on expertise and skill transmission (Hayes, Henry, and Shaw, 2021).

How Students Can Be Using the Open Research Library
To learn about using the Open Research Library (ORL), platform visitors can consult still largely relevant video tutorial at this link: https://vimeo.com/195458066.
For the general audience, this introduction provides a summary of the ORL that can be of great help: https://openresearch.community/videos/introduction-to-the-open-research-library.
This relatively recent webinar recording provides more information about both KU and the ORL: https://openresearch.community/videos/how-to-use-the-open-research-library-a-free-and-easy-to-use-open-access-hosting-platform.
For the ORL content, the citation information can be found in the Citations tab that is next to the default Details-tab presentation of information for each ORL item, such as here https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/a0d3b169-2ec5-4a8f-bec9-29b80e6ad861/citations.
One can search for resources either from the ORL homepage or from the Avanced Search interface: https://openresearchlibrary.org/advanced-search.
While the default search option is the most comprehensive, as it includes the full text search results derived from ORL content items, it is advisable to switch to title-only search, if the intention is to look for specific content types or categories, such as books from specific publishers or ORL modules, e.g., Open Educational Resources.
Thus, the search results of all ORL books can be further refined by license type, publication year, book language or publisher name: https://openresearchlibrary.org/search-results/t%3D*%26_f%3D%2522BOOK%2522%26full-text%3Dfalse.
