Modern libraries face challenges in playing roles and how they can show value in the research cycle of their institution. The presentation will show how the Singapore Management University (SMU) Libraries play a part in publishing and research support services. The Library is the owner of the SMU research publications system and it showcases SMU publications and also provides the full text where possible in the SMU repository called InK. Some examples of how the information is used and what faculty think about having their publications in InK will be shared. The Library is also involved in assessment by providing publications metrics.
