NAG Conference 2013 will once again be held at the Royal York Hotel, York,
on Wednesday 4thand Thursday 5th September, and booking fees are held at
last year’s prices until 31st July, after which there will be a slight
increase. You can book here

The traditional image of a library continues to evolve as libraries and the
services offered continue to adapt and change. Libraries up and down the
country are constantly developing successful processes and strategies,
adapting their ways of working as technology continues to develop, and
continually turning what were considered to be challenges into
opportunities. With this in mind, and thinking about sharing ideas and
practices in order to look to the future, the theme for this year’s
conference will be ‘Sharing Today, Securing Tomorrow’.
NAG’s Conference will provide the opportunity to hear about various
developments and strategies through a mixture of workshops and plenary
sessions from practitioners from a wide variety of backgrounds. We will be
able to share more information on content as soon as it is available, but
sessions planned so far include
* Strategy for accelerated adoption of digital resources
* The legal dimensions to content acquisition and management
* Eresource use at overseas campuses
* HIKE project
* RDA
* RFID In Acquisitions
* E4 Libs accreditation
* Shared services
As in previous years, there will be numerous opportunities to network with
publishers and library suppliers, and colleagues in both public and academic
libraries, as well as a chance to share your own knowledge and experience.
The timetable will be compact (from lunchtime on the 4th to late afternoon
on the 5th), and will involve only one night’s stay for most delegates. The
cost has been held at the same level as the past 3 years (£325 for members,
£375 for non-members) until the end of July, after which there will be a
slight increase to £350/ £400. These are the prices for the full conference,
but there are a variety of other booking options, which are set out on the
