LIANZA research register. This is a database of research projects relevant to New Zealand librarians and information managers, using the following definition of research:
“Research is a process of enquiry with clearly defined parameters that aims to:
- discover new knowledge,
- test and revise existing knowledge, or,
- investigate a problem for local decision making.”
People are encouraged to report on: case studies, user surveys, action research, focus groups, statistics kept and how they are used, and performance measurement.
