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?

SAGE has commissioned the research team at LISU, Loughborough
University (UK) to undertake research investigating the value of
academic libraries for teaching and research staff.

LISU 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 teaching and research
staff in particular.

Preliminary results have been made available on our website. 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 to take part
https://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/lboro/sage-uk. The survey will remain
open until 16th May 2012.
