Help set the benchmark for facilitating access to freely available
resources
Taylor & Francis is currently recruiting librarians from the UK for a
one-day focus group on the morning of Wednesday 19th December to be
held in Central London, allowing plenty of time for some last minute
shopping. Reasonable travel expenses, lunch, mince pies and a thank-
you Amazon e-gift card will be provided to each attendee.
Taylor & Francis is investigating the challenges librarians face in
helping their users to understand and realize the value of the
increasing quantity of content that is freely available to read,
including open access journals, repositories, blogs and wikis. Users
are increasingly overwhelmed with content and find it difficult to
navigate effectively through what is available and then apply it in
their research, studies or teaching. Yet librarians often have no
'ownership' over this non-purchased content in the traditional sense
of library acquisition and often no usage statistics by which to gauge
relevance.
We will be presenting the findings of our research, including the
results of this focus group, in the form of a white paper.
If you are interested in taking part in our research (even if you
aren't available for this focus group) please email
[log in to unmask] for more details.* The focus group will provide
essential information and help to shape recommended practices related
to non-purchased content. A white paper on the findings of this
research will be made available publically on the Taylor & Francis
website next year.
These respondents will also receive a copy of the aggregated results.
Note that any results shared will be anonymous and only aggregate data
will be released.
In addition, if you are interested in keeping up to date with Taylor &
Francis, please follow us @tandfnewsroom.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
*Please note there that will be a selection process as the focus group
has limited places
