Jisc have been working with RLUK and SCONUL to develop a series of training sessions to support institutions in making their digital collections easier to discover; making it easier for others to find and use them for research, teaching and learning.
The training sessions are free and open to all FE and HE staff working within digital libraries, collections and archives. The course is also open to staff working in libraries, museums and galleries who have collections that are used for learning, teaching and research.
Registration is now open please sign up today. www.jisc.ac.uk/advice/training/making-your-digital-collections-easier-to-discover
The training sessions will focus on the use of social media, analytics and a variety of other tools to help digital collections become discoverable to wider audiences online.
