Supporting researchers in academic libraries – a half-day event organised by the University, College and Research Group (UCRG) Northern Section of CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals
Date and venue: Monday 3rd December, 1-4.30pm at Trevelyan College, Durham University
What are researchers’ library and information needs, and how are these being explored?
What is the nature of the skills agenda for researchers, and where does information literacy fit in? How can we best support researchers in academic libraries?
These and other issues will be explored at the above event, taking up some of the themes covered in a UCRG London event earlier this year, providing an opportunity to find out about current developments and discuss researcher support with colleagues.
