E-Journal Technical Update
Edinburgh University Library
Friday 19th November 2004
Everything you always wanted to know about e-journals
but were afraid to ask…
E-Journal Technical Update
Many of us working directly with e-journals in libraries or as intermediaries or publishers would like to feel more confident in our understanding of the basic technology. Managing e-journals and making them available to end-users is quite different from dealing with print, but many of us have moved from one to the other, picking up expertise informally. Even then, we probably all have gaps in our knowledge and understanding, and the need to gain a proper balanced overview of the technical environment is crucial if we are to do our jobs effectively.
To meet the needs of the groups identified above, the UK Serials Group is offering a practical one-day ‘E-Journal Technical Update’ course. At the end of the day you will have a good understanding of the underlying technicalities and feel more confident in your day-to-day work. The course will be invaluable for anyone from a non-technical background working with e-journals. Numbers are limited so that individual help can be given during the day – the atmosphere will be friendly and supportive. The format will be a mix of taught and discussion sessions.
NB: Those completely new to dealing with journals should first attend the UKSG’s ‘Serials Resource Management for the 21st Century: An Introduction’ course which is run regularly in a variety of locations. This one-day course covers all aspects of the serials industry and includes a non-intensive introductory technical session.
