Serials Resource Management for the 21st Century: An Introduction
Tuesday 8 June 2004: Dublin
A one-day seminar for those involved in the day-to-day handling of serials
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Designed particularly for staff who are new to working with serials, whether
from a publisher, an intermediary or a library, this seminar may also be of
interest to those looking to consolidate and update their serials knowledge.
The UKSG is able to call on the extensive experience of its members in
sourcing expert speakers from the various sectors of the serials industry to
present a practical overview of all aspects of serials management.
The emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of
serials handling in order to promote efficient and informed working
practices. A wide range of day-to-day issues will be covered, with time
devoted to recognising and resolving the problems that can arise at the
boundaries between publishers, agents and libraries. The seminar will also
consider all aspects of linking between journals.
Delegates will be able to air and exchange views in the afternoon breakout
session.
