Learning technologists, teachers and lecturers think of
the pedagogy when employing new technologies.
What do researchers do?

16. Where LIS Professionals do and can help
● Scholarly communications (Infographics, social media,
video creation)
● Research data management (RDM plan, hosting, sharing)
● Analysis (Altmetrics, traditional metrics, capturing impact)
● Forming an online identity (digital literacy and information
management)
● Horizon scanning (working with champions and interested

17. Tattersall and McNab - Research Technologist Workshop - Northern Collaboration
Conference (York) September 2017 - 23 participants responded

18. Issues around supporting research technologies
•Duplication of platforms
•Issues relating to third party software - support, data security
•Hybrid platforms (Mendeley and Figshare both host data,
Research Professional and Mendeley both promote funding
sources)
•Limited time for personal research and development
•Technologies can come and go
•Users have different needs/levels of technical competencies

19. Prescribing a Digital Technology
● You need to understand why you are taking it
● You need to understand the benefits
● You need to understand the side-effects
● You need to understand that the benefits may take time
● You may need two courses
● You may need a different intervention
