Forthcoming events
New Christmas event on zoom
Transitioning to new ways of working – supporting ourselves and our users- the ALISS Christmas hot chocolate and experience sharing event!
8th December 2-4pm
Like all infomation professional ALISS members have faced the challenges of remote and hybrid working over the last few months and are now considering possible new futures both for supporting service users and colleagues . At this point we felt we wanted to organise a discussion of issues we have faced, lessons learned and ways forward for practitioners. The afternoon will cover several general themes in an informal supportive atmosphere. Each will have a facilitator presenting insight from their institution offering practical cheap tips and encouraging discussion from delegates.
