Work Based Project - Case Study

The library service is massively important to my work.  The area I work in can be very difficult to evidence with internal data, so the information the library provides is essential in being able to provide proof of various concepts.

Doing the research myself would take a long time, not be as efficient, and probably prove lacklustre in response.  Being able to provide one source for my query, and then get a result back with rich pickings for research is invaluable.

On this occasion I was after information around personal safety equipment.  The reason for this is a large piece of work I am leading that will result in a procurement of equipment and ultimately keep staff safe.  The libraries assistance will directly improve the safety of our staff as we go forward with this process.
