for librarians and publishers is completely renewed. You can 
pick your choice from a ‘menu’ of seven one-day modules: 

* Module 1: Strategic Developments and Library Management 
* Module 2: Change - Making it Happen in Your Library 
* Module 3: Tomorrow's Library Leaders

The course is recommended by LIBER (Association of European 
Research Libraries), JISC, DEFF (Denmark's Electronic Research 
Library), CBU/KUB (the conference of university libraries in 
Switzerland), Helsinki University Libraries, and NFF 
(Norwegian Association of Special Libraries).

The course is targeted at library managers/directors, deputy 
librarians, library middle management, digital library project 
managers, IT/systems librarians, IT specialists, information 
specialists, and repository managers from academic, research 
and special libraries, and at publishers and researchers.

To guarantee an interactive programme, the number of 
participants is limited, lectures contain an interactive 
component, experiences can be exchanged via creative coffee 
sessions, and two modules are workshops with working group 
sessions. 

Some of the subjects covered:

* The future generation of students and researchers
* Outsourcing library systems
* Evidence-based librarianship
* Strategic marketing
* Change management
* Leadership development
* Integrated search solutions (facetted search, FRBR, mash-up,
 etc.)
* eXtensible Catalog, Primo, Summa and VUfind compared
* Open Access advocacy
* Preservation and conservation of institutional repositories
* Does Open Access increase citations?
* Preservation and curation of research data – the library’s
 role
