We have two great Aspects sessions in March:
Open Systems Librarianship

software in libraries as an alternative to proprietary software.
Director’s Cut: Senior Library Management in Practise
Join Louise Doolan, Director of Library Services at City, University of London, as she unveils the trials, tribulations and secrets of managing a library service at a busy London university.
In April we will be taking a look at User Experience with Donna Lanclos and at how we can be better at
Managing Student Behaviour and Supporting Users with Mental Health Disorders.
Last chance to book for our highly rated Marketing Yourself: Transferable Skills course – a valuable opportunity in times of uncertainty.
