This document summarizes a conference presentation on researchers and their learning needs. It discusses who researchers are at different career stages, from masters students to experts. It also examines what researchers need from libraries, including access to resources, research skills training, and help managing data and scholarly communications issues. Researchers value libraries for access to materials, advice, and separate study spaces. However, they have concerns about availability of full-text, management of research outputs, and noisy study environments.

My Participation and Presentation on Towards Quality Research and Visibility in One Day International Virtual Research Conference on Current Landscape in Socio-Economic and Legal Research and Development organised by Saveetha School of Law, Saveetha University, Chennai on 27.10.2021
PhD students as a library user group are receiving increased
focus in the development of library services. In addition to
writing their doctoral thesis, they need to balance the roles
as ‘good academics’ and ‘good scientists’, and a key element
in this respect is raised awareness around academic integrity
and publication channels. In this breakout session, based on
experiences from our own teaching sessions, we discuss how
PhD students respond to these challenges, and which actions
should be taken by university libraries to help them meet the
expectations of present day academia.
Moira Bent "Facilitating informed research: old wine in new bottles” SALCTG J...SALCTG
The changing nature of research; the concept of the research lifecycle and researchers' career development; the key role of Information Literacy in helping improve the quality of research; the Researcher Development Framework; the 'Informed Researcher' model
“The Art of Paper Presentation”. I understand that everyone of you would love to see your research work being published. In order to achieve this, first you have to learn the nuances in writing a research paper
As beginners, I’m sure, at the end of this session you will be able to write a good research paper and send it for publications both online and offline.
This powerpoint presentation will probably help not just the students but also the teachers to be resourceful, engage and productive in terms of teaching and learning.

How to Add Chatter in the odoo 17 ERP ModuleCeline George
In Odoo, the chatter is like a chat tool that helps you work together on records. You can leave notes and track things, making it easier to talk with your team and partners. Inside chatter, all communication history, activity, and changes will be displayed.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
How to Build a Module in Odoo 17 Using the Scaffold MethodCeline George
Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.

Researchers?
Who are they and what are their learning
needs?
Moira Bent

2. SCONUL Conference June 2008
What is research?
Researchers said ..
Research is
Theory-led; Data-led; Scholarship
Grounded in disciplines; multi / inter /
trans disciplinary
Investigation; interpretation; gathering
evidence
A holistic activity; a set of transferable
skills
Collaborative / solo activity
Related to self
Validated by peer group
Made meaningful by an external
audience
3. SCONUL Conference June 2008
What are researchers?
Researchers said..
Researchers are:
Usually recognised within organization and…
people who find out new things, reflect and take action
at different levels and career stages
working in different disciplines
obliged to share what they find – to put knowledge into the
public domain
ready to be challenged
making connections
passionate
ambitious

Apprenticeship - influenced by supervisors / tutors /
mentors
Skills and competences are defined (also funded and
monitored)
Different levels of control
Transition from structured learning to self-organization
Interaction between personal life / prior experiences
Managing different roles e.g. other jobs, developing
teaching skills
Information consumer, objective is production
6. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Early
I consider myself to be at the start of my research
career, although I have been doing research for about 4
years. [Recent PhD graduate, South Africa]
I don’t think I was a good researcher for my PhD. You
need to have a mentor to show you the ropes and the
pitfalls. You can train for some things. The best is to
work alongside someone successful and learn from
them. [Dean of Research, UK]
I reckon I spent nearly all my first year reading journal
articles. [Computing Sciences Final year PhD]
7. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Mid
Moving field / moving role / learning a different landscape
Balancing teaching and research
support / info guiding work management in different
circumstances
situating yourself / making your name / establishing
credentials
locally (e.g. in department)
wider research community
Need to be adaptable / avoiding isolation
Starting to supervise other researchers
Starting role in management / administration
Information production and consumption
Shift from systematic to pragmatic information retrieval
8. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Mid
I hardly ever use databases, probably because I’m not
usually starting from a position of knowing nothing. I
tend to start with a few key papers and then follow up
their references. [Senior lecturer in Biology]
I used to be focused in my approach to finding
mainstream resources, now I’m less so, more
explorative. I guess looking for inspiration for my more
mainstream ideas. [Senior Research Fellow in creative
technologies] p.158
9. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Late / Senior

I have 5 years to retirement but research is becoming
more important in my career. I still have one, even though
retirement is looming [South African researcher]
If I couldn’t find it myself on the Internet, then I’d ask my
students first, my RAs, then I’d come to the library. The
RAs live and die finding info. [Professor of Industrial
Statistics, UK]
These days all my papers are invited plenaries and similar
tertiary reviews. [Retired Professor of Chemistry, UK]
As a researcher, the difference is that I know how to do
research and I am connected into all the networks. [Dean
of Research, Humanities, UK]
11. SCONUL Conference June 2008
What are researchers’ learning
needs? Librarians said…
Research methodology - how
to do it
Updating skills for older/
experienced researchers
Awareness of needing to
know
Understanding scholarly
communication issues
Effective use of sources, inc
people
Supervisors & librarians -
skills assessment
Access to resources
Separate study spaces
12. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Researchers said..
The Library is good for my research
because…
Access - hours/ open access
Electronic resources
Time saving
Friendly professionals / advice
Speed of service
Research library atmosphere/‘Wow’ factor
Escape from phone/ colleagues
Browsing/ serendipity
Library as university “icon” – to be proud of
13. SCONUL Conference June 2008
Researchers said
I have concerns about
No full text access
Missing / unavailable material
English as language of scholarship
Access issues
Noisy study spaces
Management of data
REF, measuring my impact
Repositories, keeping track of my publications
accurately, organising information
Time wasting, quantity of information
“E” limits research to what is easy
14. SCONUL Conference June 2008
How is research changing?
Researchers said…
More accountability / Fewer blue sky
opportunities
More targeted outcomes
More collaboration (UK, overseas, across
different types of organisation)
Multidisciplinary research areas
Data archives – data mining, data storage
E science / grid
Repositories / Open access mandates
Harder to know all that is happening,
especially in China, India etc
15. SCONUL Conference June 2008
What I like to do most of all is
spend all day in the library and
then go home for tea
