University, College & Research Group (South West) present: DARTS 2 - The Second Discover Academic Research Training & Support Conference. This is a two-day residential conference on the subject of library support for research in Higher Education. The conference will address a broad range of issues relating to how libraries can best support academics and researchers across an ever-changing educational environment. Speakers will represent a wide range of experience from not only libraries but also our customers. Topics to be covered will include both UK and European research support projects, researchers' needs and also the new REF. We hope to provide a forum for information professionals with a role or interest in supporting research to meet and discuss in pleasant surroundings. As before, DARTS hopes to bring together the broadest range of experience and delegates from all levels of responsibility under one roof.
