From: Richard Gedye <[log in to unmask]> Date: Thu, 28 Mar 2013 11:58:05 +0100 In October last year, the STM Library Relations Group organised a webinar (http://bit.ly/15YmBx3) on accessing academic content via mobile devices. Three speakers – a university librarian, a technology provider, and a scientific publisher – provided insights into current issues and likely future developments. Over 400 individuals participated in the webinar and judging by the feedback we received afterwards the webinar seems to have been much appreciated:- " I've just completed a project exploring the difficulties of discovering academic content on mobile devices, so this is an area I feel I know well, but I still learnt a lot and felt reassured that our thinking about how to move forward is similar to that of the 3 presenters.” “The content was rich and presented clearly. Best webinar of the year!” “I am amazed at the quality of the presentations in terms of content, scope of knowledge, and the incredibly well balanced speakers. Even the responses to the questions were even-handed.” “This was the most engaging and useful webinar about m-library provision I've ever attended”. “Outstanding!!!!! I wish I'd known in advance how good this was going to be. I'd have had all of my School of Information interns attend.” “Was the program recorded? will slides be made available. I hope so...I would like some others in my organization to see this.” If you missed this webinar and will be attending this year’s UKSG conference in Bournemouth (April 8-10) you are invited to attend an open meeting on the Monday evening where we will review what we learnt in the webinar and will invite you to share your own experiences, ask questions, and seek advice.
