Dear colleagues

I look forward to seeing you at this event.

The next JIBS event will be held on Friday 8th July from 10am-3.30pm at Brettenham House, London.

 

‘Value for Money in Research Support: Perplexing problems, practical solutions.’

 

The event intends to look at the problems that institutions are facing, how they are tackling them and, hopefully, addressing the problems with practical solutions that will improve research support for researchers and librarians.

 

Speakers include:

Andrew Simpson : Associate University Librarian, Portsmouth University - 'Making sense for researchers: Finding a practical approach at Portsmouth'
David Prosser : Executive Director: RLUK - 'A Sense of Scale - Finding local, national, and international solutions to the challenges of open access'
Jenny Evans: Research Information Manager, Middlesex University - 'Creative thinking: building research support services and systems from the ground up at Middlesex University'
Liam Earney: Director – JISC Collections - 'Constraining the total cost of ownership? The UK experience with negotiations for subscriptions and hybrid open access'
Ruth Harrison: Head of Scholarly Communications Management, Imperial
