SCELC Project Initiatives Fund (SPIF)

Documentation to be posted Resource Sharing Initiatives Discovery Research Project

Discovery Research Project

Two of the three principal researchers are from SCELC (Jason Price and John McDonald, USC) and the third is from a SCELC affiliate, Michael Levine-Clark

The next phase of the study will includes a survey of discovery and its impact among SCELC libraries

SCELC funding of this project provides SCELC branding in a new area: Resarch

It also dovetails nicely with our Research Workshop Day and Research Day events, demonstrating the power of librarians when they are able to do high-level, professional research This is a real-world demonstration of the kind of work

SCELC is now promoting through the IMLS grant project at LMU (where SCELC was part of the grant).
