Although it’s not directly relevant to info lit, I thought I’d add a plea to readers of this blog to help me to get in touch with researchers around the world. Over this last year, I have been involved in writing a book about research support and libraries (make sure you order a copy!)and as a result we have had a paper accepted at a conference in South Africa in August. I shall be on holiday then so sadly can’t go. Pat Gannon-Leary is presenting the paper but we are currently working on the data together.
We want to extend the research we did for the book by including more views from researchers outside the UK – if you have any contacts, or are a researcher yourself and can assist us by filling in the survey or passing it on, I’d be delighted to hear from you. More UK views will also be welcome of course.
If you can help, please email me moira.bent@ncl.ac.uk and I will reply with a copy of the survey.
