July 7 Open Day

Published by Martin De Saulles | Filed under Courses

Thanks to those who attended the open day on July 7th. I hope you found it useful. I certainly enjoyed meeting you all. Juliet Eve is pictured giving her presentation on research issues in the library world. Nicola Smith also gave a very interesting presentation on useful websites for anyone wanting to trace their family history. She showed a wiki (not yet public) which she is developing as a resource for librarians helping their users trace their roots.
