Hello all,

I’m a PhD student of Information Science at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada. I’m taking a step back from my research to challenge my assumptions about the barriers students and educators face when trying to find scientific publications relevant to their needs. I’m writing you all on this list as you have vast collective experience in not only the technical challenges but behavioural as well within your disciplines.

If you have 20 minutes for a brief conversation about the barriers, (cultural, social, technical, motivational, etc) that exist getting educators and students to use research outcomes, (specifically publications), then I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. What’s the top barrier from your perspective?

Many thanks for your time and patience! Please feel free to correspond with me directly to reduce the load on the list: poppy.riddle@dal.ca
