The Library building may be closed for the summer, but the Library staff haven’t shut up shop! As such we’d like to cordially invite you to join us ‘on the road’ for another series of our ever popular ‘Elevenses’ mini-workshops which we’ll be running every Wednesday at 11AM this July.

The sessions will provide the latest information on a variety of research-centred topics and are aimed at academics, research staff and postgraduate research students. The following topics will be covered:

  • ResearchGate-  – Good, bad or…?
  • LinkedIn – Can it help?
  • Career Health Check
  • Twitter – To tweet, or not to tweet?

As the Library is currently ‘on tour’,  the Careers and Employability Service are kindly helping us to provide these sessions, which will be held in the Manzoni Building in K1.23. Each slot is a manageable coffee-break-sized 30 minutes – just enough time for a breather before you return to your desk refreshed and informed!

To find more information, including links to the booking system, please see the Library’s list of workshops.
