UKSG Introduction to Journals and E-Resources Today
Friday 7 June 2013
The British Library, Boston Spa
Course summary
This one-day seminar aims to present a practical introductory overview of
all aspects of journals and e-resources management in the morning and
incorporates an overview of the technical work undertaken by The British
Library in Boston Spa, West Yorkshire in the afternoon, followed by an
optional tour of the site.
The emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of
journals and e-resources handling in order to promote efficient and informed

technical considerations.
