A reminder of these two workshops- book soon to be sure of a place.
****************************************************************************
LIBRARY RESOURCE SHARING & DISCOVERY: Catalogues for the 21st Century
Two one-day workshops presented by the eLib Clump Projects
Friday 3rd March at Goldsmiths College, New Cross, London OR
Tuesday 11th April at the University of Glasgow
Co-ordinated by UKOLN
****************************************************************************
Aims
-----------------
Two one-day workshops to disseminate information about Virtual Union
Catalogues or 'clumps', and to follow up the event held on 22 March
1999 at the British Library, London. Both events have the same content,
giving delegates the choice of the venue most convenient to them. The aim is
to present delegates with an update on the progress made by the Projects,
inform and discuss some of the technical developments carried out and to
look to the Projects becoming services in the future. Built into the
programme are periods for delegates to try some 'hands on' searches and also
the opportunity to meet project staff to discuss all aspects of the
Projects. Feedback on the work done by the Projects is encouraged - this is
your chance to influence these services.
Who should attend ?
------------------------------
The day is aimed at User Support, Reader Services and Subject Librarians,
ILL and Systems Librarians, and Public Librarians, and will be very suited
to both technical and non technical staff.
Why should you come?
-------------------------------
This is your chance to see the progress on resource discovery tools for
users that are planning to become real services. The four projects involved
have continued working together on a number of user and technical issues and
are keen that as they approach becoming a service, they provide what the
user needs.
