Summary/Abstract: PURPOSE/THESIS: This paper identifies some of the tasks and roles that academic libraries have to perform in order to react to the emergence of Research 2.0. APPROACH/METHODS: The argument is based on a non-exhaustive review of the recent literature. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Academic libraries should respond to the emergence of Research 2.0 by filling niches in services provided by other academic units. RESEARCH LIMITATIONS: As a rule, only the literature of the second half of the 2010s was taken into consideration. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The tasks identified in this paper may not seem urgent today, but the likelihood that they will become an imperative in the future is high. ORIGINALITY/VALUE: The issues identified in this paper are already a part of everyday best practices in several countries.
