UKeiG Course: eInformation for e-Science

to be held in the

Main Library Training Room, University of Birmingham
Tuesday, 24th April 2007, 9.30 - 16.30

Course Outline
This practical one day training event is designed to provide Information Professionals with an introduction on resources and services for Science. Support for scientific research often entails dealing with a complex number of disciplines (from bio-infomatics to earth sciences to physics); a vast array of activities (from computational systems, scientific instruments and databases to sensor networks) and use of a broad collection of resources (from journal literature to reprints). Keeping up to date can be a full time job. This course has been designed to bring you up to speed with new resources, critique existing ones and highlight developments (including e-Science) within this ever changing field.

The sessions will include
. What's on your e-shelves? Top five key reference sources in Science
. What criteria do you use?  Top bibliographic databases in Science compared
. What would you use? Internet search engines for Science
. Different shades of Grey : What ePrint services would you choose?
. What's in your bundle? : electronic Journals : Science packages
. What's on your Grid? e-Science support

Who should attend
This workshop will be of benefit to Information Professional managing Higher Education Science libraries as well as those in science-based public and private sector organisations.

Course Presenters: Tracy Kent, Physics and Computer Science Subject Librarian, University of Birmingham and Elizabeth Tilley, Earth Sciences Librarian. University of Cambridge.
