A holistic approach to researchers’ support through comprehensive resources: Empowering success with lessons learned at ACG

This presentation showcases a holistic approach to researcher support at the American College of Greece, focusing on its components and how the acquired knowledge was synthesized to inform subsequent endeavors. Spring semester 2024 was a major milestone for the library, as it witnessed a series of bold initiatives aiming to foster a robust research environment by designing and delivering a support package including a guide, trainings sessions and a campus-wide campaign. A comprehensive online guide was developed as a central hub for researcher support covering research impact, research data management, scholarly publishing, funding opportunities. Training sessions on Web of Science and Scopus were offered, dedicated to advanced features for bibliometric analysis, optimized researcher profiling, and citation tracking. Lastly, the library advocated for a campus-wide ORCID profile campaign to strengthen the academic community’s online identity.
