Meeting the reading list challenge: A workshop
Department of Information Science, Loughborough University
Thursday 14th July 2011, 10:30am – 3:00pm
Do you know what resources your academics are recommending to students? How easy do your students find it to locate these key resources?
These issues (and many others) will be discussed at this forthcoming workshop.
Your host for the day will be Dr Ann O'Brien from the Department of Information Science, Loughborough University. The morning session will consist of presentations on "What is a reading list?" and "A magical mystery tour of resource/reading list management systems" given by Gary Brewerton, Project Manager for LORLS (Loughborough online reading list system) and Ian Corns, Customer Liaison Manager for Talis Aspire.
A buffet lunch will be provided after which there will be wide ranging discussions on topics such as: what makes a good list? How do you engage with academic staff? And, what roles does the library actually have with regard to reading lists? There will also be opportunities for you to ask questions of those present.
This is a free event. If you would like to attend please email Sue Manuel ([log in to unmask]) to reserve a place stating your name, institution and any specific dietary requirements.
