| Abstract: | The Delphi technique has been used to systematically map the opinions on
research needs of Swedish librarians. The study shows that what is considered
relevant research is dependent on what kind of library operation the respondent
works in. The highest priority is accorded to factors affecting strategic
development, followed by the changing roles of libraries in their communities
and the impact of library programmes on learning and transferable skills, but the
results vary greatly between groups. The study is now an important foundation
for the formulation of research questions and enhanced cooperation. The report
plays an important role in those areas, but is also methodologically interesting as
it gives a good description of how the Delphi technique can be used and of its
constituent stages. |
