Our survey of public library staff in the UK will close at the end of this week. It is part of our research exploring experiences of the sector during COVID. If you work in a public library, we'd be very grateful for your input. The survey is anonymous. strathsci.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0D…
We're undertaking a survey of public library staff in the UK as part of our research project exploring the experiences of the sector during COVID. If you work in a public library, we'd be very grateful for your input. The survey is completely anonymous. strathsci.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0D…
Join our focus groups on your experiences of using public libraries during the COVID lockdowns. £25 voucher for every participant. Please see details for the range of focus groups running over the summer here: strathsci.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5b…
One of the things we want as a legacy for the project is to build a resource where you can find a directory of all UK public library websites. We've started to compile a list at: newnormal.cis.strath.ac.uk Please let us know of any omissions or any links that need fixed.
How has the pandemic affected public #libraries, as users adapt to digital lending? Researchers @StrathCIS are looking for answers @ahrcpress bit.ly/39sjlF3
