The next JIBS User Group workshop will be:
How to compete with Google: Simple Resource Discovery Systems for Libraries
November 13, 2008 at the Diskus conference Centre in London.
The idea for this workshop was sparked by a recent discussion on the
'lis-infoliteracy' list: is information literacy training essential for
students to get the best out of their library resources or should we just
be making our resource discovery systems easier to use? The debate will be
summarised by one of its protagonists, Mark Hepworth of University of
Loughborough. Maggie Fieldhouse will provide an insight into the
information seeking behaviour of students and researchers. We will then
look at some new 'one-stop shop' library products: Primo, Aquabrowser, ELIN
and Encore, which are beginning to be introduced into HE libraries in the
UK.
The intended audience for this workshop is librarians from UK HE and FE
institutions. Priority bookings will be allocated accordingly but we
welcome applications from other interested parties.
