Supporting Effective Communication and Workflows in Social Science Research: Findings and Summary of a Group Discussion

At the end of 2010, at an event hosted by SAGE and facilitated by the Research Information Network, a group of academic librarians and doctoral researchers came together to discuss the provision of information services for researchers in the social sciences. The event was designed to both explore ways of improving the provision and consumption of information during the research process and to discuss how the value of the content that researchers and librarians choose and supply could be demonstrated. This article summarizes some of the key findings from the event and encourages further discussion with an aim to finding solutions.
