Comments for LIS Research Coalition http://lisresearch.org Library and Information Science Research Coalition Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:05:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Coalition newsletters by Judith van Berkom http://lisresearch.org/news/coalition-newsletters/#comment-11077 Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:05:35 +0000 http://lisresearch.org/?page_id=5106#comment-11077 I’m quite impressed in how much further, or shall I say how proactive this approach is, compared to what is happening here in Canada. We are a much more passive lot, although we also have leaders who actively promote library services.
As a recommendation, I would hope that you also publish in some well-known medical journals, such as BMJ, Lancet, NEJM — to generate more exposure of the work you do.

]]> Comment on DREaM event 2: review, resources and thanks by Jo Alcock http://lisresearch.org/2011/11/09/dream-event-2-review-resources-and-thanks/#comment-9485 Wed, 09 Nov 2011 18:31:48 +0000 http://lisresearch.org/?p=4519#comment-9485 Glad the event got such great feedback – I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next one, and particularly glad speakers will be asked to provide practical demonstrations or worked examples, I really think that will help.

Thanks again for the event and providing the additional materials so promptly. :)

They do not post to your Twitter account without asking you each time (e.g. there is an optional tweet when you sign up for the conference, but it’s not automatic)
They cannot change your Twitter profile, but they use this as your Lanyrd profile. So, if you change your Twitter profile, the Lanyrd profile automatically updates to match it.
Lanyrd is pronounced like the thing that they try to make you wear round your neck at conferences.

the Lanyrd page doesn’t seem to include any instructions for adding yourself or your details http://lanyrd.com/2011/lis-dream1/
Also, the option to login with my Twitter account contains the warning that it will enable Lanyrd to post from my account, which has put me off doing this.
Please could you post more information about adding our details to the Lanyrd page? Thanks

So we virtual people get the whole feeling of being there.

]]> Comment on Guest blog entry: the Modernisation Review of Public Libraries and Research by Guy Daines by Tim Coates http://lisresearch.org/2010/03/25/guest-blog-entry-the-modernisation-review-of-public-libraries-and-research-by-guy-daines/#comment-81 Thu, 25 Mar 2010 21:58:18 +0000 http://lisresearch.org/?p=558#comment-81 Guy, I don’t agree with you- the real way to convince people of the use of libraries is to operate them successfully. The fall in use shows clearly that is not happening at present. They will only start to contribute to the various social agendas when they start to be good libraries. Mostly, clearly, they aren’t, otherwise usage would not be falling in the way that it is. When libraries learn to respond properly to public need, the public will support them and they will advocate for themselves. The onus is on the people who run them to do better.
