This dataset consists of two files. The first is a csv file which showcases the raw results from a survey conducted using Qualtrics survey software on the topic of staff readiness in research libraries for a technological future. The survey was sent to two main mailing lists in the Library world (UK - LIS-SCONUL and International LIS-LINK) and had 229 responses. It was also sent to all staff at Lancaster University Library to get a better understanding of how we will prepare ourselves for the technology based future. The columns related to IP addresses, Names or Email addresses are removed to keep anonymity of the responses. The second is a PDF file which visualises the results of the survey and can be used to quickly decipher the results of the survey.
