Cotton Plant, AR (prHWY.com) October 20, 2012 - Primary Research Group is pleased to provide its clients with hard data and case studies in its research reports, surveys, and benchmarking studies, which are based on substantial primary and secondary research. Our report furnish- at low cost geared to pressed higher ed budgets -- data to improve their processes and systems, to develop growth strategies and to move forward their strategic visions.

Over the past 20 years, Primary Research Group has grown into one of the most trustworthy source of information on academic management issues, from the refurbishing of academic libraries to marketing and legal expenses for the technology transfer office. The academic environment is in the midst of a revolution and faces unparalleled challenges generated by the constrained economic circumstances of modern America and rising expectations for higher productivity in higher education and related areas.

Our expertise developed in corporate consulting also has applications in areas such as public libraries and museum management.

Exciting new technologies are beginning to transform these and other areas, and will have as great an impact on them as they have had on industry. Students have easy access to innovative learning opportunities, flexible courses schedules, and troves of excellent content. How to deliver this content, to whom and at what cost - are key questions, not just for academia, but for mankind in general. The digital revolution has unhinged learning from the classroom with uncertain consequences.

In this context, library content digitization practices represent a great asset because it liberates content from a place and supports digital education in extraordinary ways, putting hard to reach special collections and hard to search archives in the hands of students and scholars wherever they reside. The new library technologies are both liberating and terrifying, as they have the potential to significantly increase higher education productivity while undermining its comfortable if costly classroom based model.

Our surveys of academic, public and special libraries, and of emerging digital practices in higher education, are designed to help librarians, faculty, administrators, publishers and consultants to improve their awareness of best practices and stay ahead of the fast moving curve. Today these parties have the modern role of promoting information literacy, which is the ability to identify, locate, use and interpret information in the most effective manner. This field, once a quiet backwater, has moved to the forefront of critical issues in employment policy and industrial competitiveness. Bluntly put, information literacy is a critical economic development issue, and those individuals able to frame the issue and conquer its challenges, will reap many benefits, for themselves, their institutions and for society at large.

The bottom line is that all these surveys, statistics and reports, as well as the library services, serve the interests of higher education management which comprehensive resources in order to ensure reliable learning platforms for all students, whether they are enrolled in distance learning programs or not. The interesting aspect is that any technology transfer office relies on the services provided by Primary Research Group.
