Eight focus groups of approximately 10 participants each will take place (subsistence and a small payment to participants provided) to review value-added for students and staff of accessing third party content. Feedback from 4 initial focus groups will be shared. This ‘market research’ will provide an opportunity to identify future trends: in particular how students wish to access commercial and free-to-use content. Elsevier wishes to work closely with the project to tailor some of its resources to best address these requirements. Initial feedback from student and academic user groups will be collected in a second round of focus groups alongside informal interviews and surveys conducted by the student researchers. These data will inform future recommendations.
