Hello all,
There is still time to book.
Join us in the first UKSG seminar in Discovery, focusing on Archives and Primary Sources.
While discovery discussions and efforts have primarily centred on Ebooks and E-journals, the library collections and current eResources are continually evolving. As other content types, including established Archives and Primary Sources, are added, they present challenges for discovery systems, content providers, and libraries.
Best wishes
Magaly

Summary
Archives provide valuable access to the past, enabling educators and researchers in the humanities and social sciences to incorporate historical collections into their work. Primary source archives are invaluable for research and learning, encapsulating entire historical periods through diverse content like manuscripts, images, and publications.
This course explores the discoverability of Primary Source content through the use of metadata, libraries' experiences in managing primary sources in their discovery services, and how publishers and system vendors can contribute to the overall discoverability of these eResources.
The course examines the entire process from the reader's perspective and addresses some of the subtleties associated with the content of different primary sources, such as manuscripts.
Who should attend?
This course is valuable to anyone dealing with primary sources and archives e-resources in libraries, content providers and intermediaries in the information chain. While not providing detailed technical solutions to specific problems, it imparts a higher level of understanding as to why the related practices and technologies have developed into their current state. It is suitable for anyone working with e-resources in general or those managing departments responsible for institutional archives collections.
This course does not compare specific incarnations and brands of library systems and solutions.
