Apologies for cross posting

 

Dear all,

In our preparation for the next years events calendar, we are currently investigating ideas about new skills and subject knowledge that we need to equip ourselves with, as the role of art librarians evolves. For example, do those in the Creative Industries find themselves needing to acquire/support business/finance/bidding skills? And how can we help with supporting those skills? Are you finding your role changing and being asked to provide access to databases such as Lexis Nexis?

 

We’d like to hear from anyone who has found that the focus of courses/or users that they support has changed, to ascertain if there is some interest/need in this area (with an Arts Focus)

 

I look forward to hearing from you, and please also contact me if you have any other suggestions about events or visits we could organise.

Thanks
