Focus Group

We have established a user Focus Group with six core partners in order to explore the potential of the recommendation service and its impact on repository users. The institutions involved are:

Aberystwyth University
Bangor University
University of Wales, Trinity Saint David
University of Glamorgan
University of Wales Institute Cardiff
University of Wales, Newport

The first Focus Group meeting will take place on 7th June at Aberystwyth University.

Along with repository managers, we have also identified and invited a small ‘cross-section’ of users from these institutions i.e. undergraduate and postgraduate students, an academic, researcher and an administrative staff member. An evaluation consultant will also be attending the meeting. The recommendation service software will have been deployed at the six institutional repositories by the end of May and the service will be demonstrated and evaluated during the meeting.
