Everything you always wanted to know about e-journals

but were afraid to ask *

 

E-Journal Technical Update 

 

Thursday 15 February 2007

Edinburgh University Library

 

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
continuing to offer its very successful 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 advice can be given during the day * the atmosphere will be
friendly and supportive.  The format will be a mix of taught and
demonstration/discussion sessions.

 

NB:  Those completely new to dealing with journals should first attend the
UKSG’s ‘Serials Resource Management for the 21st Century: An Introduction’
course which is run regularly in a variety of locations.  This one-day
course covers all aspects of the serials industry and includes a
non-intensive introductory technical session.  

 

 

Course Content
