Final call for places at the JIBS User Group workshop to be held on 24th February 2012, 10am to 4pm. at the Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) London.
(http://www.soas.ac.uk/visitors/location/)
Booking will close on Friday 17th February.
FREE to JIBS members. Each member institution may have two free places. Non members: £50.
The event will be both a celebration of 20 years of JIBS work, and a look forward to the future skills required of librarians. Our speakers will focus on areas including skills sets for librarians, future technologies being developed to meet requirements of 21st century academic libraries, and working in the cloud. We hope this event presents opportunities for delegates to network and discuss points raised throughout the day.
