UKSG are pleased to announce we will be running our popular introductory
course in Edinburgh next month:
UKSG Introduction to Journals and E-Resources Today
Thursday 14 June 2012
National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh
Course summary
This one-day seminar aims to present a practical introductory overview of
all aspects of journals and
e-resources management.
The emphasis is on developing a sound basic understanding of the details of
journals and e-resources handling in order to promote efficient and informed
working practices. A wide range of day-to-day issues will be covered, with
time devoted to recognising and resolving the problems that can arise at the
boundaries between publishers, intermediaries and libraries, and addressing
business models such as open access. In addition, the seminar will provide
an overview of the technical aspects of managing
e-resources.
Delegates will be able to air and exchange views in the afternoon discussion
session.
