The aim of this study was to develop knowledge about the librarians role as a stakeholder to a current research information system (CRIS). These systems can be seen as a possibility to manage the vast amount of information that surrounds research projects and this investigation directed focus to the system Chalmers Research that was developed by a project group in the library of Chalmers University of Technology. The librarians of Chalmers were sent a survey and four of them were interviewed about their involvement in the work with Research. The study has had an abductive approach with stakeholder analysis as a theoretical framework. The result from the survey and interviews was analysed using qualitative analysis of content with the categories from stakeholder analysis. The findings were that librarians can make good use of the power to manage a CRIS and that it was a good use of their competence. They could see both what was of use for the organisation and the user as well as trying to further develop the administration of the system. The result also showed that there was a difference in the librarians' relation to the system dependent on their work tasks. Those administrating the system have more power and legitimacy relating to Chalmers Research, but all librarians might have reason to use the system in their work.
