The RLUK Research Shift Programme (RSP) is a new RLUK series of online events designed to empower and support librarians, archivists, information professionals, and colleagues across the Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) sector to actively engage in research.
Running from April to June 2025, the RSP will explore and define the evolving role of librarians, archivists, information professionals, and GLAM sector colleagues as research leaders and partners. It will provide a platform to share experiences, develop ideas, and address challenges related to practitioner research.
Engaging in Research
The third session will explore providing practical strategies for initiating and sustaining research projects, building collaborations, and effectively disseminating findings. Attendees will gain insight into developing their research profile and making a meaningful impact across libraries, archives, and museums.
The 90 minute session will also include breakout rooms to provide an opportunity for colleagues to meet and share their own strategies, and ideas for engaging in research . Attendees will be sent a joining link the day before the event and should ensure their email is entered correctly in the registration form. Attendees should check junk folders if no joining email is received.
