considering their professional aspirations. The day will be led by Erica Sosna, a career coach and the author of Your Life Plan.

Managing Study Space: fair space for all
12 June 2017, De Morgan House, The London Mathematical Society
Faced with large numbers of students looking for a place to study and changing styles of teaching that use more group work, libraries
need to move away from their traditional design and role and be pro-active in helping readers find study space to suit their needs. This session looks at how some libraries are making these changes.
