The academic library as indispensable to 21st century learning and research: Fifth CILIP CoFHE and UC&R Joint Conference June 20, 2010

The biennial CILIP CoFHE and UC&R Conference has become a significant date in the academic library professional's diary. It provides the opportunity to share expertise, experience and knowledge in one of the most challenging and rapidly changing sectors of the profession. Next year's conference theme will examine the key role that academic libraries and their staff play in both the learning cycle of the student and the wider demands of the institutions they serve.

Following feedback from the 2008 Conference, the 2010 event will be shorter and more densely packed, with a wide range of workshops led by experts and plenaries from the professions' leaders and influential voices. Topics/themes will include:
the library's role in Digital Britain
managing a service during recession
libraries as central to their institutions
marketing and advocacy
cross sectoral, organisational and other partnerships
learning, research and information literacy
the student experience
employer responsiveness
mobile learning
