UKSG One-Day Conference

3 October 2018

Online booking is open for the UKSG One-Day Conference being held in London on 14 November 2018. Full details and the programme are now available.

The theme for the 2018 One-Day Conference is ‘Doing More with Less’. All members of the knowledge community are expected to do more with less – in terms of creative allocation of budgets; staff numbers, recruitment and training; skills, technologies, and even natural resources.

Why you should attend:

  • the conference brings together librarians, publishers, researchers and providers of related technology and services, to share stories and best practice
  • the programme includes speakers from five countries, so there will be a wide range of perspectives, experiences and contextual challenges
  • delegates will learn about methodologies to help more efficiently plan and test new ideas
  • strategies will be suggested for providing access after big deal cancellations
  • technologies will be revealed that can help libraries surface their content and services more effectively

The day will close with a debate about whether library schools and other professional development opportunities are keeping pace with changes faced as we “do more with less”.
