Sourcing information is a vital part of the teaching and learning process. The sheer range of resources available - books, journals, conference papers, electronic discussion lists, databases and websites - can make this a challenging task. This workshop will present the results of a survey of the information needs of education developers which was carried out in summer 2004. The survey aimed to: * Identify and assess the importance of the information sources education developers are using in support of their role * Ascertain how education developers find out about new information sources * Identify how education developers disseminate their research * Assess the importance of libraries and librarians to education developers * Establish how libraries and librarians can most effectively meet the information needs of education developers. There will be discussion of the survey findings and an exploration of how libraries and librarians can most effectively meet the information needs of people involved in education development.
