The talk on research genre, creating research space was very interactive and engaging. It will be useful when we recieve queries from students who may be struggling to write an article. It is equally useful for us as librarians when we decide to write adout what we do to contribute to the literature. The second session on writing circles (UCT), providing a space for post grads "to say stupid things" in a non threatening enviroment intoduced another dinension to how we can assist researchers. I don't think we have such a centre at UKZN and we (the UKZN librarians) should consider having such a unit in future at UKZN. The most important point, in my opinion was a contribution which proposed that the resarch commons ideally should be a space where ideas can be exchanged among researchers and librarians in a "neutral" and "non threatening" manner
I am looking forward to the session on strategies for outreach, communication and collaboration with researchers tomorow because I think those strategies will be the "route map" of our "research support journey" in the various institutions
