NAG Conference 2009

‘When it Comes to the Crunch: Making More of Less’

University of Chester on September 9th & 10th

Once again we will be offering a Conference package to include overnight accommodation in student halls as is our normal practice, although this year there will be two important differences.

· Conference Dinner in a four* hotel in Chester

· Accommodation at the same hotel for those who wish to take advantage of it as an alternative Conference package

· Papers include: Alice Keller from the Bodleian Library on OULS Centralised Acquisitions Process; Mick Fortune on RFID standardisation; Bowker on OPAC enrichment; Nielsen Book on using borrowing figures to inform purchases and Simon Edwards on e4libraries accreditation.

· Workshops include: Jaci Brumwell on NYR, the National Tender, a review and update of the NAG Servicing Guidelines, and Dave Patten (University of Huddersfield) on catalogue enrichment and the Mosaic project so far.

· Plus small exhibition feature with OCLC, Bright Books, EBSCO, Nielsen, YBP and Better World Books

Our After Dinner Speaker is the writer Alan Gibbons and he will be followed by the infamous NAG General Knowledge Quiz.

Fee: £325 (Members/University) and £385 (Members/Hotel)

Non-members £375 (University) and £445 (Hotel)
