The study take place in central London on Tuesday the 22nd and in central Manchester on Thursday 24th November. The SoG can't disclose full details of the research but we can assure you that it's bona fide. The study will be exploring an online service for searching an extensive collection of records held across a range of archives. People often find taking part in such usability studies interesting and rewarding. By taking part in this study you will not only get a chance to explore a developing online search facility, but will be able to actively help improve the service for researchers like yourself. You don't need to be an experienced researcher to take part and if you know anyone else who might be interested please pass the message on.
