While the word ‘research’ often has an image of dusty tomes, in this modern world there is equal requirement for technical and computing skills. Knowledge of the increasing availability of quality information on the internet needs to be tempered by caution as to the credibility of sources and limitations of keyword searches and the databases upon which much information sits.
There is a difference between what is available as paper archives and digital availability. The constant changes in this balance through the shifting sands of public funding are crucial and Tilia Services keeps a keen eye on developments.
