The Disabled Students Allowance is an important means of financial support for disabled students in England and Wales. The government has proposed changes to the DSA, which will come into effect from September 2016, moving away from individual
DSA grants towards institutionally funded support.
Supervising and Managing Library Staff [Event Ref. TG1/ASPECTS]
31 January 2018
Sooner or later in your career it is likely that you will have to supervise or manage other library staff. This workshop is aimed at people taking their first steps in staff management, or who are interested in doing so.
Current & Future Trends in Subject Librarianship [TG1/ASPECTS]
31 January 2018
The position of Subject Librarian – or Liaison Librarian, or Information Specialist, or any number of other variations – remains a key one in most academic libraries and is one that many new professionals aspire towards. However, in recent
years, the nature of the role has changed considerably, with a number of libraries adopting a more ‘functional’ structure, and a few dispensing with the position altogether.
An Introduction to Open Scholarship [Event Ref. TG1/ASPECTS]
18 April 2018
Speakers at this event will explore the role of libraries in supporting open scholarship, outlining the context of open scholarship, open access and open data; libraries’ roles in advocacy, training, and in maintaining repositories, and
the skills and experience needed to enter into this growing area.
16 May 2018
Librarians are increasingly working with learning technologies, both to support students and to promote information and digital literacy. In this fast-moving environment they must acquire technical expertise and keep up with developments
in the way teaching and learning is delivered in the digital environment, and librarians are using these same learning technologies to increase their skills and knowledge.
The GLAM sector: what can we learn from Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums [TG1/ASPECTS]
16 May 2018
This workshop is designed to share and celebrate the successes and diversity of four key cultural organisations and the lessons we can learn from each other, in terms of service relevance, modernisation, professional practices and audience
engagement.
05 June 2018
All academic libraries now realise the importance of actively obtaining student views about their services. Many have conducted UX research, which uses the techniques of ethnography to explore how users experience library services and spaces.
