Abstract

The development of digital information technology provided convenient tools, platforms and methods. It has also made data collection and analysis crucial parts of academic research, which leads to some new requirements like scientific data monitoring, visual presentation and digital publication. Therefore, in this paper, 8 Ivy League university libraries and the 9 Chinese C9 Leagues university libraries were chosen, and then a thorough online survey was done and  a comparative analysis was conducted. Specifically, attention was paid to explore what services are provided by those libraries during different period of a research project and how they are provided. Further comparison was conducted about the digital scholarship services provided in China's university libraries and those university libraries in the United States. Three suggestions are put forward in the hope to promote and deepen digital scholarship services in China's university libraries.
