This document summarizes how academic research is changing with new digital technologies and tools. It discusses how libraries and information professionals can support researchers throughout the entire research cycle, from preparation and discovery to publication, outreach, and assessment. Various technologies are mentioned that can increase research productivity, such as altmetrics, research data management tools, and platforms for online collaboration. The document also notes challenges in supporting new research technologies and resources that libraries can provide, such as helping researchers understand the benefits and effects of digital tools.
