“OCLC Research: 2014 Highlights describes the mission and goal of OCLC Research and explains the way in which our work is organized around four themes:

• Research Collections and Support,
• Data Science,
• Understanding the System-wide Library, and
• User Studies.

Each theme is presented in its own section that includes highlights of key deliverables in 2014, including publications, events and webinars, select presentations and experimental applications. Contributions by Lorcan Dempsey and others are also showcased in the report, as well as examples of some of the ways in which OCLC Research staff engaged with research libraries around shared issues in 2014. The report presents a story of achievement and contribution. It also represents the significant value that OCLC Research provides to the OCLC enterprise, OCLC members and the larger community.”
