Projects
The Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) has commissioned a team from the Centre for Social Informatics led by Professor Hazel Hall to conduct research into training provision for the library, information and knowledge sector. The project work is concerned with: 1.
The broad mission of the LIS Research Coalition was to facilitate a co-ordinated and strategic approach to LIS research across the UK. Professor Hazel Hall, Director of the Centre for Social Informatics, was first seconded to lead the implementation of the LIS Research Coalition in 2009/10.
The aim of RiLIES1 was to explore the impact of funded research projects on actual library practice, including the extent to which research output influences services delivery. http://lisresearch.org/rilies-project/ (A follow-on project - RiLIES2 - used the findings from RiLIES1 to build resources...
This AHRC-funded project develops a formal UK-wide network of Library and Information Science (LIS) researchers. A key goal of the project is to build capacity and capability in the development and implementation of innovative methods and techniques in undertaking LIS research.
RiLIES2 was commissioned by the Board of Directors of the Library and Information Science Research Coalition as a follow-on project to the Research in Librarianship Impact Evaluation Study (completed by the Centre for Social Informatics at Edinburgh Napier University in 2011).
This pilot study set out to establish the main risks and opportunities of the adoption of social computing tools within organizations for collaborative work purposes as perceived by information and knowledge management professionals.
