Research Impact Value and LIS (RIVAL) #lis_rival
All interested in library and information science (LIS) research are invited to register free of charge<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rival-research-impact-value-and-lis-lis-rival-registration-45585730146> for a community event on the theme of LIS research impact and value to held in Edinburgh on Wednesday 11th July 2018.
Entitled Research Impact Value and LIS (RIVAL), this event will bring together members of three main groups – creators, users, and end-user beneficiaries of LIS research output – to explore concepts and examples of the impact and value of LIS research to services delivery in practice. The format of the day will encourage the strengthening of links between these interacting communities, narrow gaps between LIS research and practice, and lay the ground for future research-related support and collaborations across the sector.
All are welcome to join the conversation: users of library and information services; library and information professionals; academic researchers; practitioner-researchers; and others with a stake in the future of LIS research, such as officials of the LIS professional and funding bodies. We are particularly keen to attract to the event those who work at the frontline of library and information services delivery, whether or not they are research-active or currently use the research outputs of others in their work.
Our confirmed speakers, and the themes of their talks, cut across all LIS contexts, with presentations on the impact and value of LIS research from individuals with experience of public, academic, special and national libraries, both as service providers and as users.

There will also be contributions on the impact and value of past investments at national level to support LIS research in the UK – notably the Library and Information Science Research Coalition<https://lisresearch.org/> (2009-2012) and the Developing Research Excellence and Methods (DREaM) project<https://lisresearch.org/dream-project/> (2011-2012) - and new proposed initiatives to provide the necessary infrastructure for future support in the field.
