New LinkedIn Group: Library and Information Research Methods

David Haynes (a member of the DREaM project workshop “cadre”) has set up a new group on LinkedIn for anyone interested in LIS research methods.

The group is aimed at LIS professionals, service managers, LIS researchers, and academics. It provides a forum to share ideas, ask colleagues for advice, and start discussions about research methodology. Forthcoming events are listed in the promotions tab and users can even conduct their own polls.

The site was set up jointly by Aspire Squared, IKMConsult and Information Management Associates initially as a resource for participants in their series of workshops on research methods, but has been opened up to the whole LIS community. All you need to do to join is to have a LinkedIn profile. The group is open to all and is monitored. See the group on LinkedIn for further details.
