info_outlineAudio from the 2024 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. Meg White, Senior Consultant, Delta Think interviews Yulia Sevryugina, Senior Associate Librarian, University of Michigan.
Yulia is an active researcher and an author. She transitioned into a career in librarianship specializing in scholarly communications to achieve a better work life balance. She says part of the research life cycle is sharing the results of your work with the world so that others can continue and improve it further. Yulia believes scholarly communication is very important for sharing research findings and that publishers are important in creating mini communities and combining people with similar research goals to share their experiences. Yulia emphasizes the role of librarians in supporting researchers and in educating researchers about publishing ethics. Collaboration among librarians, publishers and researchers is key for research integrity and for the credibility of academic work.
