JIBS and JISC Collections Workshop -
Discovering eprints: finding needles in the haystack?
JIBS and JISC Collections will jointly host this one day conference
aimed primarily at library and information practitioners within the
higher and further education sectors but anyone interested in this topic
is welcome to attend.
There is a great deal of effort underway in the UK and internationally
to make research outputs more easily accessible via both institutional
and subject-based repositories. A question which researchers frequently
ask about eprints is, 'How are my papers going to be found?' We are
presenting a range of discovery tools: both freely available and
commercially produced; well-established and at the project stage. We aim
to highlight the issues to be addressed for those creating and using
repository discovery tools. This workshop should provide library and
information professionals with a greater understanding of the range of
tools available and their benefits and shortcomings.
The workshop is FREE to members of institutions that are JIBS members
and 50 to non members. This event will take place on Wednesday 12th
September at European Research Institute, University of Birmingham,
Edgbaston Campus, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 2TT.
