UKSG E-Resources for Further Education

 

Out with the old and in with the new?: how new technologies have led to
innovation in FE Libraries

Thursday 5 December 2013


Manchester Conference Centre


 

Sponsors are Credo Reference, Dawson Books, Digital Theatre Plus, EBSCO,
Emerald and ProQuest, 

 

UKSG presents the fifth in their popular series of events focusing
specifically on managing e-resources and new technologies in the Further
Education sector.

 

This seminar will address how far new technologies and the development of
e-resources have changed the way we deliver library services in FE and how
we can continue to innovate in the sector. 

 

During the day there will be opportunities to hear from practitioners within
the sector about how they have introduced new ways of delivering high impact
services and will facilitate discussions about the success of these
innovations.  The day will provide you with ideas on how you can also
innovate at your own institution.  Alongside your colleagues from other
institutions, we will be hearing from some key vendors about the new
resources and services that they are introducing.  There will also be a
small exhibition area which will give delegates the opportunity to meet with
vendors who specialise in providing e-resources to the Further Education
sector, as well as being a platform for discussion, problem solving and
networking. 

 

Feedback from the 2012 UKSG E-Resources for Further Education event:

*	”Excellent day.  Useful accessible information.  Thank you.”
*	”Lots of opportunities to network and catch up with other
institutions.”
*	”The speakers were uniformly excellent, the vendors informative and
interesting.”  
*	“The seminar covered exactly what I needed.  Great atmosphere.”
*	”One of the best seminars I’ve attended in a long, long while.”
