That Is > Knowledge of themes / topics / foci of current / recent institutional research can / might / would provide greater insight and thus permit one to select current / recent items that can / might / would be of greater potential value for supporting the current / future research agenda of one's department(s) / institution and/or guiding information and /or reference services >>> Whew !!!
