UKSG E-Resources for Further Education
A one-day seminar for those interested in the day-to-day handling of e-
resources in Further Education colleges
Tuesday 17 November 2009, Manchester Conference Centre
Whilst there are similarities between the academic demands placed on both
Higher Education and Further Education libraries with regard to providing users
with appropriate collections of learning materials, the constraints and
challenges in applying this to e-resource provision are quite different.
This seminar will focus specifically on the Further Education sector, and will
address the issues and practicalities of providing and managing effective high
quality e-resources collections within Further Education libraries, providing an
informative day for anyone involved in the provision of e-resources in FE
libraries. There will be opportunities to hear of best practice case studies in
the fields of purchasing e-resources and also in marketing techniques and
strategies. Similarly, there will be a chance to find out about usage statistics
and performance indicators and how best to use these to inform your e-
resource practices.
The event will also give delegates the opportunity to meet with e-resource
vendors who specialise in providing e-resources to the Further Education
sector, as well as being a platform for discussion, problem solving and
networking.
* The first 50 places will be restricted to FE/HE institution delegates only.
