Research Bulletin

The Research and Innovation Centre publishes a free Bulletin three
times a year. The Bulletin provides: the latest research news;
features on work funded by the Centre; articles outlining research
findings and their implications for library and information work;
lists of new awards for research and new publications.
Issue 21 is due out next week. Its contents include:
- notification of two new Calls for proposals for research
- a report on the information needs of rural dwellers and how they are
losing out on access to information
- an examination of the extent and nature of public library closures
and reductions in opening hours over the last ten years
- information on how an innovative partnership to bring the Internet
to independent learners is proving a big success with Scottish users
- a review of the current projects funded by the Centre under its
Digital Libraries research programme
- an examination of the difficulties posed when attempting to quantify
the value of information
