Societal Impact and Overton?

  • 1.  Societal Impact and Overton?

    Posted Dec 20, 2023 09:10 AM

    I'm interested in learning more about people's experiences with Overton; things like

    • Do you find it useful?
    • Is anyone outside the library using it, especially admin or communications folks?
    • Is it being used for anything other than a research impact tool (e.g., gray lit searching for systematic or scoping reviews)? Or even departments that work with policy (social work, education, etc.)?
