Reconfiguring the researcher-librarian relationship: evaluating South Africa's 'Library Academy' experience

摘要

These results show that a short, intensive intervention can make a measurable difference to the way librarians perceive their role, as well as how they perform and the impact that they have on the national research enterprise. At the same time, we recognise that some impact may occur within an unpredictably longer time-frame, and we intend to continue to monitor the activities and careers of participants in future.
