Welcome

The Members' Library is a collection of published papers, training videos, interviews, discussions and podcasts, even whole chapters from some books, developed especially for the PIELink membership. (Most items also have our suggested links to other related topics, to speed up browsing.)

For brief advice and guidance on how to use the Library, watch the "The very very short introduction", which introduces the library and its features, and how to get the best out of using them. For more detailed advice and guidance on how to use the search features, should you need it, simply click on the tabs across this page.

Using 'search'

In the Library, you can perform a 'simple' search, using any word, phrase or name. If you already know what item you are looking for, this is often the quickest way.

Alternatively, when you want to explore a particular topic more broadly, keywords have been assigned to each library item, chosen for their relevance to PIEs (and most with a brief definition or other comment). With these you can now perform an 'advanced' search, to filter the whole library using any one, or any combinations of terms.

Try, for example, 'street outreach' plus 'young people'; or 'humanistic/positive psychology' plus 'practice examples'; or 'roll out of PIEs' plus 'organisational culture' plus 'action learning sets'. (If that throws up nothing, then broaden your search - and/or send us in something you think suitable?)

Mixing keywords

It was our original intention to have separate menus for member, practice and research keywords, so that each list was a more manageable size. But it rapidly became clear that this distinction was not workable – all interests overlap - and not achievable without a great deal of overlap and outright duplication.

Instead, therefore, all keywords in one large menu are available, both for the members’ profiles, and for the library of research, policy and other papers. This has the disadvantage that some terms that might have been separated – 'nurse' and 'nursing', 'social work' and 'social worker', 'broker' and 'brokerage' – appear now only in one aspect of their use – usually in terms of the worker or role, rather than the activity.

However, in the library search, a simple search - using the word 'nursing', for example - will still find that term, provided it is used in the title of the paper, or of the journal in which it appeared. You can also search by the name of the author.

We suspect this may be the most achievable solution to the issue of comprehensiveness versus ease of use. But it is an evolving practice, and a discussion that we can have, here. (add here a link to the ‘Vocabulary’ section, in ‘Future Developments’).

Contribute

It is always open to PIELink members to suggest a new item to appear in the Library – though the Editor’s decision is final (add a hyper link here to ‘Editorial policy’, in ‘Futures Developments’). Send any suggestions (preferably with suitable keywords and links) to editor@pielink.net.

Based on feedback from members, we will be reviewing the range and operation of these keywords on a quarterly basis. To suggest new keywords, and/or to take part in the discussion, see the ‘Vocabulary’ section, in ‘Future Developments’. (Add here a link)

You will also find there a more extended video explaining the way we have gone about this so far; and outlining some of the dilemmas, and the creative opportunities, in developing a single vocabulary for this work.

Using the Members' Library

Both duck and rabbit

The relationship between the main pages on this site and the Library area can be seen in any of two, or maybe three, ways.

In one view, the site is like a rather scholarly book, with its main arguments and illustrations laid out in the main pages, and the details, like the references section, set to one side, so that they do not interrupt the flow and clog up the page.

Hence we have sometimes described the task of bringing it all together and making it all available, as a collection, as one of 'editing'.

In another view, the main pages are more like the entrance way and halls of a museum, or an art gallery; and they mainly give access to, and commentary on, the library items - the real treasures.

Hence we have sometimes described the task of bringing it all together and making it all available, as a collection, as one of 'curating'.

 

Talks and tours

However, there is still a third way to see this site. Following again the museum/art gallery metaphor, the site has always had the ambition to host live, interactive events for the community it serves.

We can see this either as the equivalent of: firstly, have talks open to the public, or to members, with an expert talking or being quizzed on a particular topic; or secondly, this can be the equivalent of having tours with tour guides, and the opportunity to customise the discussion in smaller groups.

Talks with an expert as the speaker are useful. But the other kind of talking is what happens in smaller conversations, in the Cafe. These more personal and more free-flowing, free-ranging exchanges between people might be compared to the peer review that we have built in to the Pizazz process, both on paper and on-line.

 

Exit via the Gift Shop

Note that, in this second comparison, many museums and galleries have now no state or municipal funding; and they may ask for 'suggested' donations for those coming in; but most will make most of the income they need to survive from the cafeteria, or the Gift Shop at the exit.

Here, too, entrance is entirely free, both to the pages (the main hall and galleries), and to see all the items in the Library, which is free to join.  This also includes the paperwork for the Pizazz, the assessment and development process.  You can even take it all home with you.

The only form of income generating that could support this work in the future lies in the creation and release of the Pizazz software, the PIE Abacus. We have tried our hardest NOT to make this the Gift Shop exit path.
