E-Resources for Further Education: London
Important! This course has been cancelled!
Course summary
A one-day seminar for those interested in the day-to-day handling of e-resources in Further Education Colleges
Whilst there are similarities between the academic demands placed on both Higher Education and Further Education libraries with regard to providing users with appropriate collections of learning materials, the constraints and challenges in applying this to
e-resource provision are quite different.
This seminar will focus specifically on the Further Education sector, and will address the issues and practicalities of providing and managing effective high quality e-resources collections within Further Education Libraries, providing an informative day for anyone involved in the provision of e-resources in FE libraries. There will be opportunities to hear of best practice case studies in the fields of purchasing e-resources and also in marketing techniques and strategies. Similarly, there will be a chance to find out about usage statistics and performance indicators and how best to use these to inform your
e-resource practices.
The event will also give delegates the opportunity to meet with e-resource vendors who specialise in providing e-resources to the Further Education sector, as well as being a platform for discussion, problem solving and networking.
