British Company Law
26 June 2013
Company Law is typically viewed as "very important, but far too difficult for non-specialists". This course distils the key legal principles which govern corporate activity for those who lack the time to follow lengthy conventional legal courses, through real life examples and examination of actual company documents.

Negotiating Online Subscriptions (half day workshop)
1 July 2013
It is tough out there at the moment. We all need to make an impression on our employers and one way we can achieve this is to save money. It is often awkward talking about money and this session gives practical guidance on how to broach the subject with the publisher.
This session is aimed at anyone who has to deal with online resource renewals, new subscriptions or cancellations. The workshop provides practical tips and strategies you can really use. Delegates will be able to learn from the experience of the presenter as well as have the opportunity to discuss their own experiences.
