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\, online databases and e-books\, and will help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work. Why you should attendThe course will be invaluable for anyone from a non-technical background working with e-journals and other e-resources.  The atmosphere of the day will be friendly and supportive and participants will be encouraged to share any issues or problems they encounter in their work. Course level and previous knowledge requiredIt is recommended that those completely new to dealing with journals should first attend the UKSG Introduction to Serials and E-Resources Today\, a one-day seminar run in a variety of locations which covers all aspects of the serials and e-resources industry and features an introductory technical session.  If you are not completely new to journals no previous knowledge is required. Learning objectives• Learn how to overcome common problems in implementing e-resources• Have the tools to help you decide the best way of setting up access to e-resources in your institution/organisation• Be confident that you understand the technical landscape when dealing with e-resource providers.

UID:34615-1319634000-1319634000@www.uksg.org SUMMARY:UKSG Practical Project Management: London DESCRIPTION:Workshop summary\nWe all have to manage projects.  Whether you are implementing a new system\, migrating services\, managing a vendor selection process\, managing an office move or creating a new product or service\, we are often managing projects without the support of a professionally trained project manager.  We are expected to deliver more with less\, and it mustn’t go wrong on our watch!  If this sounds familiar\, then help is at hand. \nUKSG Practical Project Management is a highly practical workshop aimed at librarians\, publishers and intermediaries responsible for managing a variety of projects of any size\, including vendor selection\, tenders\, implementing systems\, system migration and web site creation and change projects.  It is assumed that delegates have little or no formal project management training. \nIn this workshop we introduce a simple and free project management tool that enables you to run projects of any size and any level of complexity from a single sheet of paper\, providing you with all the key information you need\, enabling you to stay on track and deliver on time and on budget. \nOne of the key benefits of the workshop is that delegates can bring a real project they will be working on and use the workshop to create a real project plan for that project\, so they create something valuable on the day as well as getting trained. \nThe workshop is very practical with a mix of tools and techniques as well as specially designed exercises to enable you to leave the workshop ready to implement the tools in your projects immediately.  Exercises\, worksheets and handouts are provided for you to take away. \nLearning objectives\nBy the end of the workshop\, delegates will be:• confident in their ability to take on projects of any size• more productive and efficient\, resulting in less overwhelm and fire-fighting• familiar with a new project management tool that enables them to run projects of any size and level of complexity from a single sheet of paper• skilful at managing multiple projects\, providing updates for everybody involved and seeing at a glance where attention needs to be focused• ready to put their new skills and techniques into practice immediately to impact their job the day they return to the office. \nIn addition\, each delegate will have the opportunity to develop a project plan for a real project they are about to begin.  This provides the opportunity for learning new skills in a highly practical way as well as doing some ‘real work’ during the session! \nWorkshop agenda\n09:30  Registration and refreshments 10:00  Introductions and objectives of the day 10:15  Session 1: Introducing a new project manager tool\, project definitions and components of the tool 10:30  Session 2: 12-steps to constructing the project plan before the project starts 12:00  Session

rating:  94%Percentage that would recommend the workshop:  100% \n“An excellent course – well structured and delivered extremely well.  Very useful to use our own examples to work through … a great introduction to this methodology\, practical too which is great for something that could be very theory-based.” \n “I was very pleasantly surprised at how positively the staff reacted to your course\, Practical Project Management – you got people excited about planning and reporting!   Seriously\, I put it down to its simplicity (which must have taken a great deal of thought).” \n“I predict that this will be one of the few courses which REALLY changes how I work!” \n “This was one of the most enjoyable sessions I’ve had at any conference I’ve attended.  I will be recommending any course you organise to my colleagues.” \n“Very useful – a practical tool which we can start using straightaway and which will improve the way we run projects.” \nWorkshop facilitator\nPractical Project Management is facilitated by David Sommer.  David has over fifteen years’ experience in the global publishing industry.  He has worked for Blackwell Publishing and Macmillan Publishing Solutions and has developed a range of successful publisher and library products including Blackwell Synergy\, ContentStore\, ScholarlyStats\, MPS Insight and RiskCheck.  David now runs David Sommer Consulting.  He also chairs the Executive Committee for COUNTER.  David has extensive project management experience\, successfully developing and launching major industry products. \nFee\nUKSG members   £185.00 +

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\, online databases and e-books\, and will help you feel more confident in your day-to-day work. Why you should attendThe course will be invaluable for anyone from a non-technical background working with e-journals and other e-resources.  The atmosphere of the day will be friendly and supportive and participants will be encouraged to share any issues or problems they encounter in their work. Course level and previous knowledge requiredIt is recommended that those completely new to dealing with journals should first attend the UKSG Introduction to Serials and E-Resources Today\, a one-day seminar run in a variety of locations which covers all aspects of the serials and e-resources industry and features an introductory technical session.  If you are not completely new to journals no previous knowledge is required. Learning objectives• Learn how to overcome common problems in implementing e-resources• Have the tools to help you decide the best way of setting up access to e-resources in your institution/organisation• Be confident that you understand the technical landscape when dealing with e-resource providers.

access to them is licensed and this has given rise to the licence as a feature of most acquisition agreements.  Publisher licences present libraries – and their patrons – with useful rights but also with important responsibilities\, and a thorough understanding of licensing language\, and its effect\, has become critical for librarians.  \nThe digital arena presents many challenges but also considerable opportunities.  The key for information professionals is to gain a good understanding of these new dynamics and develop the skills which will enable them to gain the best from every licence and each negotiation.  It follows that libraries whose staff have strong licensing and negotiation skills will have considerable advantage\, particularly in the current economic climate. \nWhy you should attend\nThe course has been created specifically for librarians involved in collection development and e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending.  Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \nLearning objectives\nAt the end of the course participants will:• understand the key issues surrounding information licensing and negotiations\, and how these impact libraries and their patrons • be familiar with the key clauses in publisher licences• enhance their understanding of licensing language and its effect • be able to compare a ‘model’ licence with a publisher licence • understand the principles of successful negotiation in the context of licensing online information resources • understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource negotiation• have the opportunity to share and resolve licensing and negotiation problems they have encountered in their work. \nFee\nUKSG members    £175.00 [VAT exempt]Non-members      £240.00 [VAT exempt] \nThe fee includes refreshments and lunch. \nVenue\nLaw Society of IrelandMembers’ Lounge/Blue RoomBlackhall PlaceDublin 7 \nTel.:  01 672 4800 (Reception) \nFeedback from previous LNS training courses \n95% of delegates on the 2010 course would recommend this course to a colleague. “Excellent handouts – the checklists will be very useful.  The sessions were fun\, useful and interesting.” \n“[The course] … actually made me less scared of negotiation and more understanding of what we may need and how we can achieve it.  Definitely hit the right tone\, not daunting and not dumbed down.  The chance to talk with others from differing institutions\, with different experiences\, was also incredibly helpful.” \n“Excellent course … will assist in my work.” \n“Very well prepared and delivered.  Good balance of participation and instruction.” \n“Incredibly useful to me – actually got more from the course than I had thought I would\, and I did already have quite high expectations.” “Very informative and useful course.  Left me with several plans to put into action and feeling much more confident about the idea of actually negotiating\, not just taking the licence as being a done deal.” \n“Somebody used the word ‘empowered’ to sum up how they felt and I think that’s right.” \nCourse content\nLicensing• Introduction: what is a licence and why do we have them?• The licence as a grant of rights: issues of access vs. ownership• The licence as a contract: the language and effect of publisher licences• The devil in the detail: clause-by-clause examination of a ‘model’ licence;

Publishers are being asked to publicly endorse and follow the Code of Practice which is a set of voluntary “best practices” for the industry but the success of the Transfer Code of Practice also depends on librarians asking publishers to endorse the Code and making sure they follow it.

access to them is licensed and this has given rise to the licence as a feature of most acquisition agreements.  Publisher licences present libraries – and their patrons – with useful rights but also with important responsibilities\, and a thorough understanding of licensing language\, and its effect\, has become critical for librarians.  \nThe digital arena presents many challenges but also considerable opportunities.  The key for information professionals is to gain a good understanding of these new dynamics and develop the skills which will enable them to gain the best from every licence and each negotiation.  It follows that libraries whose staff have strong licensing and negotiation skills will have considerable advantage\, particularly in the current economic climate. \nWhy you should attend\nThe course has been created specifically for librarians involved in collection development and e-resource purchasing in academic institutions; librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending.  Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations\, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives. \nLearning objectives\nAt the end of the course participants will:• understand the key issues surrounding information licensing and negotiations\, and how these impact libraries and their patrons • be familiar with the key clauses in publisher licences• enhance their understanding of licensing language and its effect • be able to compare a ‘model’ licence with a publisher licence • understand the principles of successful negotiation in the context of licensing online information resources • understand the fundamental dos and don’ts of e-resource negotiation• have the opportunity to share and resolve licensing and negotiation problems they have encountered in their work. \nFee\nUKSG members    £170.00 + £29.75 VAT [17.5%] (total £199.75)Non-members      £230.00 + £40.25 VAT [17.5%] (total £270.25) \nThe fee includes refreshments and lunch. \nVenue\nThe Institute of Materials\, Minerals and Mining (Library)1 Carlton House TerraceLondonSW1Y 5DB \nTel.:  020 7451 7300 (Reception) \nFeedback from previous LNS training courses\n95% of delegates on the 2009 course would recommend this course to a colleague. “Excellent coverage of basics and more complex issues.” \n“Well structured … helped to break down the ‘fear’ of deciphering licence terms.” \n“Excellent handouts – the checklists will be very useful.  The sessions were fun\, useful and interesting.” \n“Incredibly useful to me – actually got more from the course than I had thought I would\, and I did already have quite high expectations.” “Very informative and useful course.  Left me with several plans to put into action and feeling much more confident about the idea of actually negotiating\, not just taking the licence as being a done deal.” \n“Somebody used the word ‘empowered’ to sum up how they felt and I think that’s right.” \nCourse content\nLicensing• Introduction: what is a licence and why do we have them?• The licence as a grant of rights: issues of access vs. ownership• The licence as a contract: the language and effect of publisher licences• The devil in the detail: clause-by-clause examination of a ‘model’ licence;
