Jisc and CNI leaders conference 2018
Jisc and the Coalition for Networked Information (CNI) are again bringing together leading experts in digital scholarship from the US and UK for our 12th biannual conference.
Digital technology is revolutionising research. At the same time, research processes and practice are modernising and these developments mean a new role for the library in supporting both the research institution and strategic requirements of the university.
The conference will aid research and library leaders in responding to these opportunities by bringing together experts and influencers in digital scholarship from the UK and US, to share leading international practice and policy.
