Research methodology applied in a review of preservation management training.

Abstract

A recent research project funded by Resource under the auspices of the National Preservation Office reviewed the provision of training for preservation management across the libraries, archives and museums sectors.The methodology of literature searching, combined with an invitation to representative institutions from all the sectors to contribute information, showed the usefulness of a'broad-brush' approach in eliciting a reliable amount of data about the range of training available, without the need for a large-scale questionnaire.
