LIRG Research Award 2023

The 2023 LIRG research award was designed to fund a small project with the aim of identifying the most important and answerable research questions for UK library practice. It updates previous research by identifying current and future priority areas for library practitioner research. The results of the project will support research funders and researchers focus their time and funds on questions likely to be of high impact and value to the library and information science community. The award of up to £3000 was open to UK-based applicants with relevant experience or expertise in the library and information profession.

Congratulations to Elizabeth (Libby) Tilley who won the award. Please see our blog for posts from Libby.
