This month the Information Futures Commission project team are encouraging students and staff to participate in two kinds of face-to-face consultation activities.
First, we are hosting two student-staff consultation forums. Hosted in lecture theatres that seat up to 200 people, these events are a chance for you to ask questions about issues raised in the consultation paper.
The first student-staff consultation forum will be held at lunchtime on Tuesday 15 April 2008 — see the main Information Futures Commission web site for details and to RSVP for this event.
Second, we are inviting students and staff to participate in an exploratory workshop during the week Wednesday 23 April to Wednesday 1 May 2008.
The workshops are organised around the strands of the triple helix:
- research and research training
- learning and teaching
- knowledge transfer
There will also be two workshops about the student experience — how students find, use and share scholarly information, and what kinds of services and support they expect from the University.
Members of the Expert Panel will attend the workshops, and the conversation will centre around the role, value and potential strategies for scholarly information and technologies to support the triple helix.
Workshop seats are strictly limited — register early to secure your place :-)
