Hi Everyone,
I am currently undertaking the research dissertation element of an MSc Information Management at UWE Bristol. I am exploring the role of university libraries and librarians in academic skills study teaching and support.
We all know that in order to get the most out of their university education, students need the knowledge and skills to be able to successfully undertake academic study and writing. UK universities are increasingly putting in place formal services to assist students who need help to gain proficiency. University subject, engagement and liaison librarians are one group of professionals moving into providing this support and this raises questions regarding how widespread this change in role is and how capable librarians feel to take on this role.
The research aims to investigate the emerging role nationally of university professional librarians in teaching academic study skills to students and the extent to which academic librarians feel prepared and confident to undertake this role. Additionally, the research considers how any possible skills gaps might be addressed.
This questionnaire is aimed at university library academic service managers and subject, liaison, engagement or academic librarians who provide training and support to students. The survey has a maximum of 12 questions and should take no more than 10 minutes of your time but where additional information is requested your generous comments would be appreciated.
The survey is open initially until the 24th August in the first instance but may be extended if required and I would appreciate you taking part. Please go to https://uwe.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/library-role-in-supporting-study-skills-development
All information will be confidential, names and data anonymised to ensure confidentiality, and participants are welcome to withdraw their submissions at any time. All source data will be deleted once the dissertation is completed.
