Seminar

Media interest in research has never been greater due to the global impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and Climate Change, among other topics. How research is communicated varies from an international scale down to local level, as also reflected in the quality of coverage from in-depth news features to poorly referenced, click-bait churnalism.  Join us for this online seminar that takes place over one day – Wednesday 9th February. 

UKSG are developing a series of short topical webinar sessions focussing on the Further Education community. The second in the 2022 series is ‘The role of the library in enabling blended learning’.

Each year these popular sessions, free of charge to FE staff, aim to bring together learning resources and library managers to share best practice and innovation in the management, delivery and support of digital resources and library services in the further education arena.

Please note that advance registration is required. This webinar will be recorded and all registrants will receive a link to the recording after the session.

This two-part online event has been adapted from UKSG’s successful and long-running one-day seminar and aims to present a practical introductory overview of all aspects of e-resources management, encompassing e-journals, e-books and bibliographic and full-text databases. Taking place as two morning sessions on Thursday 23rd June and Tuesday 28th June.

Resource Discovery is a new seminar which gives an overview of what is discovery from the point of view of librarians, content providers and the technology services. It gives attendees insight into the discovery services landscape, metadata and processes behind the scenes. This seminar will take place over two days on Tuesday 25th October (am) & Wednesday 26th (pm).

The rise of open access and associated compliance requirements has created an increasing role for librarians in supporting pre-publication workflows for journal articles and other research outputs. It has also led research institutions to develop a widening range of services and systems to support publication and manage compliance. This online event is hosted over 2 half days. Registration open.
