The aim is to explore how health library
and information professionals can expand their current
work roles by supporting open access initiatives
particularly the development of institutional
repositories. A role competency framework is presented
to help analyse a case study in a cancer hospital in the
UK, as well as some other examples from the literature.
The findings show that librarians benefit from greater
expertise gained in metadata standards, and the library
service gains from closer relationships with the
researchers.
