They are committed to improving the efficiency of the trade and library supply chains, reducing costs and automating processes. We're all about "book economics" (for both print and digital). Karina and Simon will talk about BIC, who they are, what they do, about BIC members, the training courses and events they run, library sector standards (including EDI and RFID), BIC's work for libraries and the e4libraries accreditation scheme etc. This talk will be of particular value to anyone registered for CILIP Chartership and can contribute towards CPD requirements.
