London
Introduction
Welcome to the home page of the UC&R London Section.
The UC&R Group is concerned with the interests of librarians in national, research, university and other higher education libraries. The Group organises meetings, including an annual study conference, which, in alternate years, is held as part of Umbrella. In recent years the Group has established links with cognate bodies internationally.
Relay, the Group's newsletter, reports on developments and is a vehicle for papers of current interest to members.
Your local branch of UC&R aims to bring together librarians in London to discuss issues of professional interest in seminars, study days, visits and social events. Details of events are listed below, along with details of previous events and ways in which you can become involved in the running of the section. If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this page, or UC&R Group's London Section in general, please don't hesitate to contact us.
