Heritage for the Technical Librarian

The workshop runs from 10am to 3.30pm with registration from 9.30am. It includes coffee or tea and biscuits and a choice of hot or cold lunch.

Introduction

All sessions include a tutorial with hands-on practical exercises. Where possible, these are based on the data in the Demonstration Dataset which is available in your copy of Heritage. The workbooks can be used again at your site by other Library staff.

The Workshop includes practical exercises throughout the day to consolidate what you have learnt.
