The JISC Resource Guide for Health and Life Sciences and BIOME are collaborating with the LTSN, MIMAS, EDINA, BioMed Central, BioMed Image Archive and Netskills to provide the one-day event for librarians, learners, teachers and researchers in the health and life sciences.
These seminars are designed to bring you up-to-date with high quality electronic resources across the health and life sciences, and to raise awareness about how to most effectively use these resources. The first in the series was held at the University of Nottingham on March 18th. Comments from participants included:
'An excellent day which introduced a range of resources and gave opportunity to explore in time dedicated to this.
''The day was fantastic - the only 'improvement' would be if you could deliver this information directly to universities!'
'Thank you for an enjoyable and useful day. There is so much to learn.'
'The day was very good. I can't really think of any improvements.'
THE SEMINAR WILL PROVIDE:
· Hands-on workshops from leading resource providers
· Interactive worksheets to use with students and staff in universities and colleges
· The opportunity to ask questions at an open forum discussion with key representatives from the services represented
· The chance to hear ways in which future national developments in online provision can support and enhance institutional developments
