Hey, gimme some bamboo!

I’m looking forward to the inaugural meeting of the NE and Yorkshire Group on information and data handling tomorrow. I blogged about this earlier; it’s an attempt to create a group of folks who support researcher training in the areas of information and data handling and use, hopefully getting us working outside of our usual comfort groups. We have over 40 people registered, from a range of different backgrounds, which is a really great start. I’m doing a very short talk about the work we’ve been doing in SCONUL to redevelop the 7 pillars and there will also be talks from Vitae and RIN about the RDF and the links between the 2 models, but the majority of the time will be spent in developing the network and discussing how the group should work.
