Come and book on our session as we discuss what role libraries should provide. Libraries have always played a leading role in collating and making available a wide range of resources to learners and researchers alike. Learn more about the way that libraries have risen to the challenge of providing good quality tools to meet the needs of modern researchers. In this session, we will hear from four different speakers who will look at a variety of innovative new avenues: engaging with social media, curating datasets, creating dataset tools, as well as engaging with researchers in virtual communities.
