DIT Library Services: Supporting Research

Date: Thursday 4th October 2007

Time: 10.00am - 12.00pm

Venue: FOCAS Centre, Camden Row

Chair: Dr Frank McMahon

Building on the findings from our recent Research Support Survey, we invite all staff to attend a seminar to explore some new initiatives for supporting researchers throughout the Institute.
One of these initiatives will:

• Raise the profile of individual researchers


• Showcase the Institute's academic research output


• Disseminate research findings to a greater audience


• Connect those with similar research interests


• Facilitate further networking and collaborative opportunities

Question: How?

Answer: An institutional research repository

This seminar will provide an opportunity to learn more, see a repository in action and explore the possibilities for DIT.
