Understanding Wellcome collection research programmes with stakeholders

[alicerichmond]

As a Wellcome collection researcher I would like to be able to work with researchers from different areas of wellcome collection to establish a unified research process and library

Acceptance criteria

• Wider understanding of what research is being undertaken and by who in the collection
• Clear idea of whether sharing research more widely would be helpful
• More inclusive access to research output for Wellcome staff
• Understand whether we can improve the consistancy of our accessibility both in the venue and digitally

Implementation

• Work with AD&I to start communicating with others in the collection
• 1-2-1 conversations with relevant team members involved in research within wellcome collection
• Workshop to align research expectations and understand what research is already being done with who
• Creation of a unified understanding of research and value

Testing and tracking

• Regular conversations over time to ensure that the work undertaken if helpful or whether it is causing hinderance

Measurement

• informal survey at beginning to understand interaction with research from across wellcome collection and then periodic check ins to see if there have been any changes
• Ethnography to understand what different people would find it useful to see research from beyond their team

Other considerations

• Who will have access to dovetail over all?
• Will we have standards?
• Who will share the same dovetail instance wellcome trust/collection just collection?
• Will we try and create a regular research sharing event, would anyone be interested in being involved?
