Future events

The meeting supported the plan to run the company information event as proposed and agreed that the focus should be on ‘free’ company information sources with additional references to business development and marketing. The course should, initially, be offered to ALLICE members and then to both ASLIB and BIALL members if capacity allowed.

All members were asked to feed ideas for additional training events to Phil Uttley who would liaise with both Sue Kendall (BIALL) and Alison Parker (ASLIB) so that opportunities for co-operation were maximised. One idea for the future was a Web 2.0 event.

Next meeting

The next meeting will be held at Anthony Collins on Wednesday 2nd September 2009.

Phil Uttley was asked to contact Steve Wood, Service Manager, Information Services at Birmingham Reference Library to see if he could join us for that meeting
