WHEN: Monday 20th March 2017
WHERE: Bewick Hall 1&2, Newcastle City Library, Charles Avison Building, 33 New Bridge Street West, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 8AX
The library and information community have always had technology champions and in an increasingly digital world this is needed more than ever. The half day workshop will explore how library and information professionals can leverage new and established technologies to become digital citizens, teachers, researchers and champions. The purpose of the three workshops is not only to help professionals provide a better service befitting the 21st Century but also improve their own skill sets and show value to their organisation.
