  21. Research Exchange To support the University strategy by delivering new services to postgraduate research students, early career and established researchers with a particular emphasis on collaboration and networking

  22. We identified our USP among other support services • Student Careers & Skills PGR provision • Learning & Development Centre Research staff • Institute of Advanced Study Early Career Fellows • Doctoral training centres Doctoral training • Research Support Services Funding support The University of Warwick Library unique selling point: a central service which provides support to all researchers irrespective of disciplines, career stages and research contexts and who can make interdisciplinary links

  23. We demonstrated that we understood researchers... • Conducted survey of research staff on needs (25 % response rate) • Analysed the national surveys of researcher needs • Developed ethos of Researcher to Researcher – a key feature of what we do

  24. We showed that we understood the role of the other agencies... • Skills delivery through the Researcher Development Framework • 23 Things for the digital professional • The power of peers led to Researcher to Researcher events • Research Exchange as the hub for researcher skills delivery and research led events (700 in 2010/11)

  25. We concentrated on supporting strategic values... • Impact (REF2015 and RCUK) • Interdisciplinary networks and collaborations • Researcher to Researcher • Publications database

  26. Created two value propositions and based work round these... Value proposition for agencies... Library as the pollinator, facilitator and knowledge gateway Value proposition for researchers... Rich collaborations start with strong connections
