This applies to those working in both the public and private sectors. This one day course looks at a method of valuing your library and information service (LIS) based on business valuation techniques. In this way, information professionals can relate their services directly to reporting line management on their terms. The course includes an introduction to business valuation, but the most important part of the day will be a detailed case study, where delegates will be able to work through an information service valuation. The course workbook includes a very detailed 25 page bibliography covering all aspects of LIS valuation. speaker: Sylvia James date: 15 Nov course fee: £295.00 + VAT (£346.63) includes buffet lunch and refreshments. http://www.tfpl.com/skills_development/courses/cd.cfm?linkid=tr853 introduction to the European Union Introduction to the European Union is a one day course which will introduce to you the European Union and the key information sources on the web for following its activities.
