Getting started on your research journey
The Library and Knowledge Service, as part of the implementation track of the IDEAS Framework would like your help in sharing our Library Knowledge Mobilisation Questionnaire with colleagues within your team.
This will help us to identify any gaps in their knowledge as regards our library services and resources such as literature searching skills, help with critical appraisal skills, data presentation, basic statistics for research etc.
We'd love to know how the library might work with you and your team to support all of your information needs to more effectively inform your decisions.
