Journey to a million - the future library
Here’s what to expect
With the end of the academic year rapidly approaching, the time for our annual summer webinar has arrived.
Whilst important topics such as the cost of living, student mental health and freedom of speech have all dominated higher education headlines this academic year, are these representative of what matters most to HE librarians?
During the event
We’ll address key challenges and opportunities facing the sector today, exploring:
- UCAS' Journey to a Million and growing the library at scale
- The results of our Annual Librarian Survey
- The platform updates that are coming for the next semester
