Keep the date – NoWAL conference 4th September 2012
NoWAL will once again be running a conference, this time to be held at the University of Cumbria on Tuesday 4th September 2012. Provisionally titled "Beyond the Library: Student Transition and Success", the conference will address the issues around supporting and developing students across the entire student lifecycle (from pre-entry, to post qualification), and will position academic libraries as major forces in their institutions, demonstrating the value of our services to a sustainable model of higher education. The conference programme will provide a lively mix of keynote presentations, workshops and networking opportunities, and will take place at the University of Cumbria's Learning Gateway in Carlisle: http://www.cumbria.ac.uk/StudentLife/VirtualTours/Home.aspx
The conference organising group, led by NoWAL's new chair Margaret Weaver, is currently working up more detailed plans for the conference, and a call for contributions will be issued in due course.
