UKSG Money Matters: An Introduction to Financial Planning
Friday 29 January 2010
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London
Course summary
This is a new UKSG one-day seminar aimed at librarians, publishers and
intermediaries who want to gain a basic understanding of the overarching
financial planning strategies and structures which govern the ways in which
the various sectors work and interact.
UKSG is able to call on the extensive experience of its members in sourcing
expert speakers from the various sectors of the information industry to
present a practical overview of all aspects of resource management.
Why you should attend
Areas where the financial management structures and practices of the various
sectors intersect will be identified and discussed, and consideration will
be given as to how they might be made to work together more effectively.
The event will draw on audience views and experience and will discuss
potential problem areas posed by the different financial
strategies/procedures within the various sectors as described by the
speakers, with a view to promoting greater mutual awareness and
understanding which will help in identifying ways of working together more
effectively.
Course level and previous knowledge required
This seminar is designed particularly for those who are new to the sector
and it would be beneficial for librarians working towards Chartership, or as
part of a more general training programme for those working in the
commercial divisions of the sector.

* library financial planning cycles, including budgeting, fund
allocation, Key Performance Indicators and monitoring expenditure
