Digital The Knowledge Exchange celebrates 50 years of innovation
This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Knowledge Exchange, a milestone in its mission to empower policymakers and practitioners with the tools and insights they need to drive meaningful change in policy research across the UK.
Launch of a brand-new website design
We’ve launched a new website to celebrate our anniversary. This fresh design helps prospective customers understand what the full TKE platform offers. The new site features a modern, clean look with better navigation. It’s easier for new customers to find what they need.
Our goal? A website that not only looks great but also provides a more intuitive and user-friendly experience. Take a look at the new pages here.
Expertise in the digital age
With information now so accessible, it’s easy to think you can find everything by just Googling. While the internet is useful for basic facts, serious research demands more. Combining various information sources for a project or meeting requires time, persistence, and skill-where the experience of information professionals really matters.
For over fifty years, The Knowledge Exchange has been gathering, processing, storing, retrieving, and delivering information for public and private organisations across the UK. Policymakers and practitioners from local authorities, universities, think tanks, consultancies, and charities rely on our services to stay updated with developments in public and social policy and practice.
A Trusted Resource
“For over fifty years, The Knowledge Exchange, formerly known as the Idox Information Service, has been gathering, processing, storing, retrieving, and delivering information for public and private organisations across the UK. Policymakers and practitioners from local authorities, universities, think tanks, consultancies, and charities rely on our services to stay updated with developments in public and social policy and practice” explained Morwen Johnson, Head of Content, The Knowledge Exchange.
“Our team of researchers, including public policy specialists and qualified librarians, collects, categorises, and distributes information on a wide range of subjects, from education and health to economic development and housing. Our subscribers value reliable evidence for informed decisions, which is why so many renew their subscriptions despite budget pressures,” explained Morwen Johnson, Head of Content, The Knowledge Exchange.
Looking Back and Moving Forward
The database includes thousands of journal articles and reports, covering changes in policies from the 1990s to today. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we collected reports describing its impact on health, education, work, and the economy.
As we celebrate this milestone, we thank our loyal subscribers and look forward to welcoming more organisations eager to harness the power of information.
