ACCESS Meeting, Thursday 20 August 2009

The next ACCESS meeting will be held at QUT Gardens Point Campus, Room V713 (7th Floor) , V Block (the Library) on Thursday 20 August 2009.

The meeting will start at 12 noon, and finish at 1.45pm.


The speaker will be Martin Borchert, Associate Director Library Services (Information Resources and Research Support Services) at QUT.

Martin will be sharing some insights on decision making and information resources. He will be focusing on information resources and research support; and hopefully will clarify some of the issues and trends that we face in relation to information resources (ebooks, databases, search engines...), research support (document delivery, collaborative technologies, publishing...).
