Library & LR induction handbooks through (recent) history: a trainspotter’s guide
This is a little bit anorakish, I’ll be the first to admit. But I thought it would be interesting to see how our induction handbook(s) have changed through the years. Thanks to our resident archivists who’ve hung on to our previous work! Does anyone have anything from between 1999 and 2003?

HEFCE publishes guide to REF
from Research Office by
HEFCE has published a guide to the Research Excellence Framework (REF), reports ResearchResearch.com:
HEFCE – REF Guide (PDF)
The guide is a general introduction to the REF, the successor of the RAE, including details on how bibliometrics (citation data) will work. The pilot and consultation are ongoing, so the document does not go into the specifics of the system, but it does provide enough information for interested parties to develop a good overall impression of the proposed new method of research assessment.
REF technical reports: bibliometrics
Spotted on Bournemouth University’s Research Support blog:
“HEFCE has just published two technical reports on the process for the Research Excellence Framework [REF], Appraisal of Citation Data Sources and Development of Bibliometric Indicators of Research Quality.”
