AHRC Survey
The University of Bristol has been awarded a one-year grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) to find out how arts and humanities scholars currently use ICT in their research and what their needs for the future are. Your views will make a difference as there is to be a review of the AHRC strategy programme in 2006 which will address research community needs; data from this survey will inform that review.
The survey is at http://www.survey.bris.ac.uk/ahrc/survey
