Latest Research Funding Update: Projects & Programmes (December 2012)
Christmas Quiz!
Our Searching Peer Review Group (SPRinG) had its last meeting of 2012 today and we rounded off another brilliant year with an xmas/funnies themed literature searching quiz. Pit your own skills against those of ScHARR's 'Top Gun' lit searchers with the following questions:
3, A review investigating the use of parachutes to prevent fall related injuries
5, An editorial piece on the spiritual and cultural benefits of xmas pud.
6, A longitudinal study on cutlery in the workplace
Bonus: how many letters to the editor in response to this study?
7, A review of one of the baby Jesus’s first christmas presents
8, A piece of qualitative research investigating whether adverts influence children’s christmas lists.
9, An article on the common side effects of a favourite christmas vegetable.
and finally...
10, An analysis of Father Christmas as a poor lifestyle role model.
All answers can be found via Pubmed - and that's all the help your getting from me, enjoy!

New Information Specialist at ScHARR
Hello! My name is Kath Williams and I am the new Information Specialist at ScHARR. I have previously worked for over three and a half years in an NHS library setting, mainly focused around current awareness.
My areas of interest are around current awareness (not surprisingly) and the various ways in which technology can be utilised to improve the way services are delivered. That said, I'm really looking forward to learning new things and getting stuck into some literature searching. I also have some experience of delivering skills based training sessions and I would love the opportunity to expand my knowledge in this area.
Having been given the task of overseeing the delivery of current awareness services in ScHARR, this won't be the last post I make to this blog! Watch this space...

Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without…
Frank the library skeleton in his Christmas tinsel and lights combo! To say he is the highlight of the library Christmas decorations would be something of an understatement… Do pop down and see him if you can!
