The UKSG E-Resources Technical Update course will give you a good understanding of the underlying technicalities involved in e-resource set-up and delivery\, including e-journals (subscription-based or OA)\, online databases\, datasets\, and e-books\, and will help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work. Why you should attendERTU has become a standard part of the training programme for many e-resources librarians in the UK and beyond and is considered invaluable for anyone working with journals and other e-resources.
