The Changes to the Disabled Students’
Allowance – what does it mean for students, universities and libraries? [Ref. TG2/DSA]
25 January 2018
The Disabled Students Allowance is an important means of financial support for disabled students in England and Wales. The government proposed changes to the
DSA, which came into effect in 2016, moving away from individual DSA grants and towards institutionally funded support.
22 & 23 February 2018 *Please note date change*
Progressing into management is both exciting and daunting. This interesting and engaging two-day course will provide an insight as to what it means to be a manager.
Attendees range from those who want to know whether management is really for them to those who have just started out in a management role for the first time and are looking for an all-round basic introduction to the skills they will need.
23 February 2018
All libraries are continuously trying to improve access to course materials, whilst at the same time making sure items in high demand circulate effectively. Speakers from University
of York and Imperial College will discuss their circulation policies and UCL will detail their approach to laptop loans.
26 February 2018
The afternoon will include two panel discussions exploring copyright issues. The first part of the afternoon will focus on teaching support and copyright including Lecture
recording and use of YouTube. The second part of the afternoon will focus on supporting research and the associated copyright issues including dealing
with images and third party copyright in theses and other publications.

In recent years, the nature of the role of the Subject Librarian has changed considerably, with a number of libraries adopting a more ‘functional’ structure,
and a few dispensing with the position altogether.
13 February 2018
This workshop is aimed at people who have an interest in supporting students with disabilities; examining theoretical ways of assessing the current service that
you are providing for your disabled students and practical ways of supporting students from the perspective of a subject librarian with a disability support role.
13 February 2018
Participants will develop an understanding of the basic principles of copyright legislation and work in teams to tackle a range of real world scenarios, exploring
the relationships between legislation, licences and fair dealing exceptions when using copyright content for educational purposes.
18 April
2018
Speakers at this event will explore the role of libraries in supporting open scholarship, outlining the context of open scholarship, open access and open data;
libraries’ roles in advocacy, training, and in maintaining repositories, and the skills and experience needed to enter into this growing area.
16 May 2018
This workshop is designed to share and celebrate the successes and diversity of four key cultural organisations and the lessons we can learn from each other,
in terms of service relevance, modernisation, professional practices and audience engagement.
16 May 2018
Librarians are increasingly working with learning technologies, both to support students and to promote information and digital literacy. In this fast-moving
environment they must acquire technical expertise and keep up with developments in the way teaching and learning is delivered in the digital environment.
05 June 2018
All academic libraries now realise the importance of actively obtaining student views about their services. Many have conducted UX research, which uses the techniques
of ethnography to explore how users experience library services and spaces.
