CIRT Online Project and Publications Archive
Welcome to the archive pages for the Centre for Information Research (CIRT).
CIRT is no longer an active research centre. The following pages provide an archive of details of the projects undertaken by CIRT during its 18 year period of operation. In addition, links are provided to publications produced by CIRT that are available online.
Within UCE, the evidence base research and evaluation unit based in UCE Library Services undertakes externally funded research, evaluation and training work. More details about evidence base.
