Organised by the Cataloguing and Indexing Group in Scotland, this all day seminar will present different perspectives on resource discovery for library, archival and other educational and cultural collections. With the advent of next generation web scale discovery layers supplementing or replacing traditional and in-house catalogues, institutional resource discovery environments are changing beyond recognition. But what does this mean for our collections, and for our users? The seminar will seek the views of users, cataloguers, reference services and systems staff, and explore the impact that these new discovery layers are having on discovery and integration of collections across libraries, archives, universities and other cultural institutions. This event will be of value to information professionals with an interest in metadata, user services, resource discovery, discovery systems and integrated use of collections. The event will include presentations from the Universities of Durham and St. Andrews, the National Library of Scotland, and Jisc. Titles confirmed include: - From student to graduate trainee: a user perspective on discovery - Where did you come from, where will you go: bibliographic data and union catalogues (Apologies for the ear-worm on a Friday afternoon!) Registration opens at 10 am, with the seminar starting at 10:30. Admission cost includes refreshments and a buffet lunch. Date: 21st March, 2018 Venue: National Library of Scotland, George IV Bridge, Edinburgh. EH1 1EW Time: 10:00 (registration) to 16:15 Cost: £60 for CIG / CIGS members; £72 for non-members. Booking fees apply. Payment accepted: In advance by credit card, cash on the door, pay by invoice (invoice will be raised after the event). Please register through the Eventbrite link, where these payment options will be available. We look forward to seeing you in March, for what is promising to be a very interesting day!
