Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] This article aims to introduce the innovative practice of University of Sussex Library to support think-tank construction for Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU), and to provide suggestions for Chinese university libraries to serve the construction of university-affiliated think tanks, based on the analysis of the inadequacy of the supporting role of Chinese university libraries. [Method/Process] By using website survey method and literature review method, this study summarizes the characteristics of think-tanks of the two university libraries in terms of information resource supply, scientific research data management, human resource construction, and innovation in library space to carry out activities. [Results/Conclusions] The successful experience should be used for reference for university libraries in China, such as establishing the dedicated libraries for think tanks and enhancing interaction between think tank digital libraries and other network platforms; attaching importance to knowledge resource management of think tanks and jointly building think tank repositories; supporting think tanks in educational functions and helping develop first-class disciplines; understanding the space requirements of think-tank users and expanding library space services.
