The ARC-funded Linkage project (LP220100274) has now been completed. It was conducted by members of the CSU Libraries Research Group, led by Professor Philip Hider, in partnership with the State Library of New South Wales and two NSW public libraries. The project’s outputs can be accessed here. You can read more about the project’s background and aims here, and its final blog post here.

About the Libraries Research Group

Our research focuses on key issues affecting the sector, examining the ways in which library and information services can be improved, and library collections enhanced, as well the role of libraries and librarianship in contemporary society.

Building on CSU’s position as the leading and largest provider of library education in Australia, we are ideally placed to be the group librarians turn to when they need an evidence base for their decisions, or new solutions to real-world problems.
