Hi,
I am currently looking into how I can improve on my delivery of information literacy at my school. I was hoping that some librarians from other sectors might have some advice on how they tackle this issue and if there's anything your organisation does to combat misinformation? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Hannah

Happy New Year to all in the Rare Books and Special Collections Group!
Please join us for our first webinar of 2024, especially if your library is considering migrating digitised special collections to a different DAMS and website creation system ... or even building new digital collections, following the example of our partners at the University of Liverpool.
Successfully migrating digital collections: three institutions share their experiences of achieving their migration objectives
Wednesday 17 January 2024 | 5:00pm GMT
Whatever is driving your migration to a new digital collections platform, you are committing to a long-term investment that requires significant planning, resources and strategic buy-in. As such, it also demands a flexible, customer-led approach from your platform provider’s customer experience team.
Join this panel discussion to hear the experiences of Rice University, the University of Portland and Durham County Library, all of which have recently undertaken this transformative journey with AM Quartex, each migrating vastly different scales of collections from different legacy systems. Discover the key ingredients that contributed to these successful migrations and how each of these partners achieved their specific objectives.

Webinar: Showcasing digital collections: how to create destination websites
Monday 23 January, 5:00pm GMT
Following our recent webinar on using Quartex’s administrative interface to develop effective and efficient workflows, join us for this session exploring the other side of the platform – content management.
Much more than a digital asset management system, Quartex is a website creation tool that allows you to present your materials in ways that are meaningful and exciting for your user community.
Learn how to create bespoke, accessible and responsive websites; publish one or multiple websites from one administrative interface; and amplify your impact through social sharing and SEO.

Looking for a digital asset management system (DAMS)?
Chat with Oliver Stacy and Martin Drewe about your library’s digitised special collections and your plans for showcasing your unique materials to your user community.
With this understanding, we'll tailor a short demo that will show you how our digital collections platform, AM Quartex, can adapt to meet your needs.
We will also share examples of our work with libraries and archives from the UK and across the globe, from new and migrated collections, strengthened community engagement, and the opportunity to unite disparate archives or collaborate with partners on new digital humanities projects.
Book a meeting with us by emailing oliver@amdigital.co.uk. We look forward to meeting you.

Hi everyone,
As a supplier partner, we're keen to work with you to improve the services we offer - and we've been given permission to share with you blog posts or webinars that we feel may be of interest to your group and others that fall within our sphere.
For those among you who are custodians of special collections that have the potential to be digitized and shared with a wider community, the following blog may be interesting and/or useful:
Four integrations to amplify the reach of your digital archive
When it comes to publishing your digital archive, integration should be no less a consideration than front-end display or cataloguing capabilities – how else will your target user community discover your digital repository or share specific findings with other researchers? A member of our team, Jessica Kowalski, has been thinking back to conversations with repositories considering adopting a new digital collections platform and compiled this list of four areas of integration to amplify your digital archive’s reach.
https://www.quartexcollections.com/news/item/four-integrations-to-amplify-the-reach-of-your-digital-archive
Thanks for reading,
Mark Jones

Hi,
I'd really appreciate it if you would participate in this survey; it is for a colleague who is studying towards a library qualification.
Best,
Eleanor Gawne
Hello all,
I write in the hopes that you will consider participating in my research survey on fine art collections (paintings, prints, sculptures, etc.) held in non-art specialist libraries in the United Kingdom. I am completing this research for my dissertation as part of my Masters of Library and Information Studies at UCL.
Completing this survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous. More than one person from a library can complete the survey as it based on individual experience.
The survey will remain open until July 20th 2021. Thank you for your participation.
Anonymous survey link: https://opinio.ucl.ac.uk/s?s=74081
Many thanks,
Madeleine Ahern
