Annual Review Meeting in a few lines

The last day of the Annual Review Meeting was devoted to research support components of the UEM-Sweden programme, such as ours. Cross cutting issues of importance to the whole university, research management, gender issues, ICT and library resources, were discussed. In the afternoon, the closing session summarised the week and the Vice-Rector Professor Amalia Uamusse held a closing remark reminding us of our important work, as well as areas to improve and urged us to share best practices.

The library sub-programme reported on its achivements and they have to do with acquisition and sharing of e-resources, acquisition of equipment, admission of six master's students to distance studies at the University of Borås, professional trainings of librarians in a series of workshops. And more. Some challenges were also discussed, one of which has to do with procurement procedures that affect timely delivery of results. That had been resolved, however.

Please do not hesitate to ask us about plans and reports. 

UX -- User Experience on the last day of the workshop

The last day of the workshop, facilitated by the trainers Malin Utter and Tove Lekselius and translator Democrito Manyissa, focused on user experience, UX.

Facilitators Tove Lekselius, Malin Utter translated by the UEM Central Library's own Democrito Manyissa

As the other days, there were a lot of group sessions, but it seems that they were extra popular/useful today. This, of course, wouldn't have been possible without the input from all wonderful participants.

Customer Service Workshop

This week, the Central Library Programme of the UEM-Sweden Programme organises a workshop on library customer service.

Exciting things going on in the library.

Invited to the workshop are librarians within the library organisation working closely with library users and it is led by Malin Utter from the Swedish School of Library and Information Science and Tove Lekselius from the Library, both at the University of Borås. Supporting with translations when the English language becomes challenging, is Demócrito Manyissa, from the UEM library.

Presentations are usually shared with participants -- and here on the blog.
