One-to-one requests

• Decrease in requests from first year undergraduates
![Page 7: The rise of the researcher: meeting a shift in IL demand - Fiona Ware](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062616/5499b991b47959e3688b45bd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Types of individual support requested
• Largely ‘literature searching’:Selecting search terms; Appropriate databases; Where to find resources; Advanced searching (combining, limiting, truncation etc.)
• Using reference management software, e.g. Refworks

Feedback:
“It was really valuable as it was good timing, interactive and met our needs as a group. We were also encouraged to self assess before and after which was really helpful. I liked the approach of the facilitators that encouraged discussion and asking us what we wanted as it was tailored to meet our needs and individual skill set to date.”

Final thoughts
• Individual academic support should decrease as all become ‘research competent’
• Will it reach a ‘steady state’, i.e. balance of group / individual support?
• As we move more materials online, will one-to-one support increase again?
• Pattern unique to the Health faculty at UoH
• A similar pattern in your institution?
