Library and Information Science Research Coalition
The broad mission of the LIS Research Coalition is to facilitate a co-ordinated and strategic approach to LIS research across the UK.
The LIS Research Coalition was established in March 2009 by the British Library (BL), the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP), the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), and the Research Information Network (RIN). The Coalition aims to bring together information about LIS research opportunities and results, encouraging dialogue between research funders, promoting LIS practitioner research and the translation of research outcomes into practice. It also looks to articulate a strategic approach to LIS research, and promote the development of research capacity in LIS. Readers can access the outcomes from their 2010 Conference, “Evidence, Value and Impact: the LIS Research Landscape in 2010”.
