Note
Plenary presentation to the Australasian Libraries in the Emergency Sector Annual Conference. Mount Macedon, Victoria, 4th April 2012.
Summary
"This presentation falls under the broad rubric of police as critical consumers of research, but what does that mean? To my mind, a critical consumer of research, is an individual who is an actively engaged user of research, and can sort the wheat from the chaff in the body of knowledge. I envisage an individual who is not passive in their consumption – but able to make some cognitively active judgements about the quality of research, its limitations, and applicability."--Page 1
