On Tuesday afternoon, 20 November 2007, the Medical Library Association is sponsoring a 2-hour webcast called “Scholarly Publishing and Open Access: Straight Talk” (see the webcast agenda for more details).
Queen’s Library has registered for the webcast on behalf of the University community. We invite all interested faculty, staff and students to join us in the Bracken Library e-Classroom at 2 pm (EST) to view the presentation and discuss these issues which are impacting on the dissemination of and access to scholarly literature.
Help the Library select a new catalogue interface! Three vendors will be presenting their systems to Library staff and users next week. Members of the Queen’s community are cordially invited to attend the demos and provide their feedback to the Library’s Next Generation Catalogue Working Group.
