This is a one day conference on Monday 9th December aimed at library and other professionals who support the research lifecycle and is organised by ARLG and MmIT. 

Cost: £70 for CILIP members / £95 for non-CILIP members.

Research workflows are big business, in terms of both activity and income for publishers, and the last few years have seen the launch of new products as well as merger/acquisition activity for existing products.  This event will cover a number of types of research workflow support tools, the characteristics of these tools, and the role of staff in advising and signposting researchers to appropriate tools. The provisonal programme for the day is included below:
