As outlined in the original call, we were particularly interested in those applications which proposed to work across several departments or units within the organisation, and would thus bring together colleagues from a number of different areas. 

We were also looking for applications which demonstrated strong links to and a wish to involve colleagues across a number of departments, and which were able to explain how their participation in the group would fit within the wider research agenda and activities of the institution. 

The strongest applications had clearly addressed these particular points and had provided good evidence in support of this. I am afraid we will not be able to give detailed feedback on each application, but any queries can be addressed to libraries@acu.ac.uk
