Evidence and literature searches – what do you need from your library service?

 Have you requested a literature or evidence search from the library in the past year? Can you help HEE to research the needs of people who request searches?

HEE Library and Knowledge Service are conducting a survey - can you help?

Health Education England (HEE) and Lagom Strategy are conducting research to understand and cater for the needs of people who request literature and evidence search services from their Health Library service. By speaking to a range of users from across the NHS, we have identified a number of user needs. We now want to validate these findings by learning whether you share these needs and, if so, how important they are to you. All you need to do is complete this 10 minute survey to tell us what you think:

The survey will close at midday on Friday 28 May.

 

If you have any questions or want more information about this work, please contact lucy.reid@hee.nhs.uk.
