The article focuses on the findings of a project conducted at University of Warwick in England to find the impact of the Library on the research process. The University of Warwick Library has been interested for some time in how librarians can support the research process more actively within their institution. Warwick is a research intensive institution and one of the key threads of the Library's current strategic plan is to structure more systematic research support for academics and their departments. Traditionally such support has been offered through research skills training sessions. Initially the researchers conducted a feasibility study into creating an interdisciplinary journal title database that would include impact data, publication data, editorial panel data, and lead- in-time to publication. It was hoped that such a database would provide academics with some sort of hierarchy of publishing opportunity. Practitioner based enquiry is very useful at providing opportunity to reflect on existing practice whilst developing new models of intervention. The success of interventions into existing practice, are also determined by the timing and receptivity of particular Department or Research Center's circumstances. |
