We are delighted to announce that thanks to the Island Research Repository (IRR), islanders in Jersey will now be able to access a whole range of research journals, articles and resources, free of charge.
The IRR has been set up with the aim of creating easy-to-access materials covering a wide range of topics from health and social care to politics, environment and history. Its goal is to allow islanders to access resources that they previously may not have been able to, due to factors such as costly subscriptions.
So that the platform continually evolves, as well as hosting research, the IRR also welcomes submissions from the public, researchers, students, non-profit groups, charities, and the public sector.
Family Nursing and Home Care were part of the steering committee for IRR and would like to encourage islanders to make the most of this knowledge sharing initiative.
Commenting on this new platform, Rosemarie Finley, CEO of Family Nursing & Home Care said:
The launch of IRR in Jersey should be hugely celebrated. This new platform enables all islanders to have access to information that may have previously been out of reach. Not only can this help them with their research and understanding on topics impacting the island, but also marks a huge milestone for how we can improve both services and the policy making for the people of Jersey. We were delighted to play our part in creating this groundbreaking initiative.
The IRR is made possible through funding from the Jersey Community Foundation and the Institute of Law, with development by the Jersey International Centre of Advanced Studies (JICAS).
