- Afternoon session - Tidying up your catalogue – Housekeeping your catalogue - The job most libraries would love to get to but often just don’t know where to start! Why not start here and set yourself up for the next few years….?
We do have an option on some alternative topics if you prefer but can only run 2 physical sessions so have picked what we think are the most popular topics. If you would like to request a different topic please email echamb01@bucks.ac.uk and we can see if it may be possible.
