Democracy Government Libraries Information Services Library Cooperation Models Planning Research Research Libraries User Needs (Information) Users (Information) This paper provides guidelines for establishing a parliamentary research service. The following steps are described: (1) establish a robust democracy as the context for the parliamentary research service; (2) counter alternatives to a parliamentary research service, e.g., personal staff, party-based research, university contacts, interest groups, Departments of State, and the Internet; (3) negotiate the resource base, i.e., necessary staff and funding to provide anticipated services; (4) examine other models in order to assess which is most appropriate; (5) develop a client-oriented culture; (6) establish an optimum relationship with the parliamentary library; (7) forge strategic links with academics, officials, and interest group representatives; and (8) recruit the best and the brightest analysts. The conclusion offers specific recommendations for building a parliamentary research service. (MES) |
