• How can you improve the communication and working relationships between your library and academic departments?
• How well are you marketing your teaching and research support services to academic staff?
• Are you interested in proving your value to academic staff in their teaching and research activities?
The research team at LISU, Loughborough University (UK) has been commissioned by SAGE, the Academic and Professional publisher, to undertake research investigating the value of academic libraries for academic staff.
We have conducted 8 case studies in three regions – the UK, USA and Scandinavia – to uncover examples of good practice. The intention is to identify exemplars of good practice to raise the profile and value of the library within the institution, and to academic staff in particular. Preliminary results have been made available on our website (http://libraryvalue.wordpress.com/).
This survey is the final stage of the project, and aims to explore some of the case study findings in the wider academic library sector. To this end we invite you to complete this short survey (10 minutes) and share your views and experiences at your library.
This survey is open to all higher education librarians. We particularly encourage academic liaison librarians, or individuals in a similar position, to complete the survey. Please feel free to pass on this survey to colleagues at your library.
Please follow this link https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/lboro/sage-uk to take part.
The survey will remain open until 16th May 2012.

Thank you.
LISU research team.
