Things not in the library...Me...I am writing this on Wednesday as I am off to Oxford tomorrow. The company that manages our library system (ISOxford) are having an open day/ training day which I am attending. As part of the day they will be asking us what developments we would like to see in the future capability of the system. In a similar way we are always keen to have your feedback about our services - which is why we ask you for feedback after training, literature searches or other services/events which we organise. Do please respond to these as they really make a difference to our service. If you have any feedback/suggestions you would like to give us on any aspect of our service please email us to let us know.
Things about feeding preterm children...
This qualitative study involved interviews conducted with 12 parents of nine children who had been cared for at one neonatal intensive care unit in Sweden. The interviews were conducted between May and September 2018. All parents experienced some difficulties with their child';s eating development and described feeding their child as sometimes both difficult and frustrating. Variation in when these difficulties arose made it hard for the parents to obtain the individual support they wanted and needed. Parents experienced a need for more support -- from both staff members and parents with similar experiences -- during and after their child's stay at the NICU.
Things about research...Not sure where to start? Don't know your Qualitative from your Quantitative? Don't worry we have lots of help and advice we can give you: from starting out to sharing your finished research. Use our Book a Librarian service to come for a chat.
We also regularly run Critical Appraisal courses which SCH staff can book via the Intranet.
Things before you start...
If you are contemplating doing any study that involves writing and referencing do come along for training on Mendeley reference managing software. Yet again today someone said to me "if only I had known this existed before...". It is free to use, works on PCs or MACs and will help you stay organised and save you so much time. Book a Librarian session or check out the information on their website.
