> Many of us working directly with e-journals in libraries or as
> intermediaries or publishers would like to feel more confident in our
> understanding of the basic technology. Managing e-journals and
making them
> available to end-users is quite different from dealing with print, but
many
> of us have moved from one to the other, picking up expertise
informally.
> Even then, we probably all have gaps in our knowledge and
understanding, and
> the need to gain a proper balanced overview of the technical
environment is
> crucial if we are to do our jobs effectively.
>
> To meet the needs of the groups identified above, the UK Serials
Group is
> offering a practical one-day 'E-Journal Technical Update' course.
At the
> end of the day you will have a good understanding of the underlying
> technicalities and feel more confident in your day-to-day work. The
course
> will be invaluable for anyone from a non-technical background
working with
> e-journals. Numbers are limited so that individual help can be
given during
> the day – the atmosphere will be friendly and supportive. The
format will
> be a mix of taught and discussion sessions.
>

exclusively for
