Need some advice or top tips on all things local studies? Over the last two years a band of local studies librarians and associated hangers-on have been working away to produce the Local Studies Toolkit.
The aim of these pages is to produce a freely accessible online guide that will help and inspire local studies professionals and para-professionals to provide an excellent local studies service within their authority.
Over the next week or two we will releasing the first versions of different sections of the guidance as blog posts. More will then follow in the coming months.
As of this moment, the only page published is a very boring introduction, but you can see the project unfold by following us on Twitter and Facebook, or just keeping an eye on our Toolkit homepage.
The toolkit will be a collection working documents for the entire community, so we need your help. If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, examples of best practice that you wish to share or, even better, completely disagree with points in this guide, please let us know. Put a comment at the foot of the appropriate page or send us a comment. This guide will only be as good as the contributions you make.
