Brettle, A., Hall, H., & Oppenheim, C. (2012).We have a DREaM: the Developing Research Excellence and Methods network. Paper presented at the 4th International Conference on Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries, Limerick, Ireland, 22-25 May 2012.
1. Did we increase research capability and capacity?
2. Did we raise standards?3. Did we create a foundation for future
research collaborations?

Critical incident technique - cadre reported
Increased research capacity and capabilityGrowth in knowledge and research confidence
Raised standardsImpact and influence – demonstrating research knowledge in the
workplaceQuality of training – new resources to shareResearch practice – methodological choice
Foundations for future collaborationsWidened networks and research relationships

Broader impacts of the investment
LIS research on the agenda, e.g. CILIP’s Professional Knowledge and Skills Base
CILIP Library and Information Research Group (LIRG) reinvigorated
Increased research capacity, particularly amongst DREaM cadre
New approaches to supporting LIS at “industry” level - Coalition
New approaches to delivering support, e.g. DREaM infrastructure
Popularising new approaches, e.g. One Minute Madness (see July 2012’s video)
Export to other subject domains
