We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the librarians who took part in our recent Library Survey. It was wonderful to receive responses from colleagues around the world and to learn more about how you are using and promoting Think. Check. Submit. in your institutions.
Your feedback provided valuable insight into the types of resources that would best support your outreach efforts. Many of you expressed interest in:
- Resources that can be easily linked to from library websites and guides
- Short, ready-to-use explainer slide decks
- Posters and other promotional materials
- Adaptable content to help raise awareness among researchers
Our committee is currently analysing all responses. Over the coming months, we hope to speak with a number of you in more depth to better understand your needs and priorities.
