Back to the future and into the cloud:
JIBS workshop and AGM, Friday 24th February 2012 10am-4pm
Brunei Gallery Lecture Theatre at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) London
The event will be both a celebration of 20 years of JIBS work, and a look forward to the future skills required of librarians. Our speakers will focus on areas including skills sets for librarians, future technologies being developed to meet requirements of 21st century academic libraries, and working in the cloud. We hope this event presents opportunities for delegates to network and discuss points raised throughout the day.
