They just want resources that are applicable to their research needs.” Reference and Research Librarian, Discovery of Free Online Content survey Following on from our survey: Discovery of Free Online Content, we’d like to invite you to share your views on the some of the fascinating insights we received from your comments. We had over 400 responses to our survey so thank you to everyone that participated! We thought what better way to celebrate free online content, than to throw a Twitter party during Open Access Week.
