The JIBS User Group invites you to our AGM and meeting on Wednesday 23rd November from 1.30 to 4.30pm at Birkbeck College, 43 Gordon Square, London: Battle of the Giants: a comparison of Web of Knowledge, Scopus and Google Scholar.

The workshop is FREE to members of organisations that are JIBS members and 30 GBP to non members. To find out if your Institution is a member, please see our web site. See below for the booking form which you should print out and post.
