Launched hashtag:
#WhyResearchersTweet
4. What are the benefits and challenges of
collaborating?
• Discuss with the person next to you for 2 mins and then
share on Menti.
• Go to menti.com on your device and enter the code
5. Benefits: our experiences
• Draw upon someone else's expertise
• Expose you to new ways of thinking and working
• Build upon our own knowledge and expertise
• Offer a better service to our customers
• Improve communication across teams
• Great to work with partner services
• Signposting relevant provision
6. Challenges: our experiences
• Relying on finding individuals willing to collaborate (ie not
driven by strategy)
• Attempting to fill gaps in provision without additional
resource
• Increasing knowledge in short timescale (also a benefit)
7. Are there other services within your institutions
who are supporting PGRs and research staff?
8. Our future plans
• Exploring ways of scaling our collaborations – what can we
deliver online?
• Continue to test new provision e.g. Open Access Week
• Continue to work towards building collaborations into
strategic activity.
• Microsoft Teams

Short paper - 15 mins plus 5 for questions
Who we are
Talk about what kinds of things our 2 teams support.
Then highlight the fact that we do cover some areas which have a crossover or are linked.
We are not the only 2 teams who support PGRs and staff within our institution!
Get the audience to think about what teams within their institutions are supporting your PGRs and staff
This could help them think about opportunities for collaboration within their own institutions
The Library Research Support
Maybe put something here about how successful we think it has been, how we are going to work together in the future….
