Contribute to the RiLIES project poll by 6th March

February 17, 2011 by Leave a comment

We are carrying out a short poll as part of the LIS Research Coalition Research in Librarianship – Impact Evaluation Study (RiLIES) project. The purpose of the poll is to identify (1) the sources that are used by librarians to generate ideas for improvements in library services delivery and (2) any named LIS research projects that have been particularly influential in inspiring changes to practice. The results will contribute to the broad project aim of exploring the extent to which funded librarianship research projects influence library practice.

The poll is aimed at Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals who are based in the UK, but if you live in another country, we would still be interested in your answers. It should take you no more than five minutes to complete. We look forward to reading your responses. The poll is open until Sunday 6th March.
