A few words

Welcome to the last issue before the festive period begins. You will find information about the programme meeting next month (don’t forget to register!) as well as details of conferences, events and assemblies. Following on from the feedback we have received on the newsletter, we will be dividing the content into two regular mailings – one for in-house news and a second with a more ‘global’ perspective so you will have access to items of interest in your fields of research and details of additional publications and events.

On behalf of the SSBR team, I would like to wish you all season’s greetings and all the best for the New Year.

MEAoT 10 December Report

Avi Naim writes about their recent assembly at Cambridge University.

We had 13 participants, mostly from within Cambridge University. They included computer officers and teaching office administrators, who are all users of the Teaching Office Database (TODB) software. In addition we were delighted to host Dr. Cecilia Loureiro-Koechlin (representing the JISC BRII project) and Dr. Bridget Taylor (DAISY project), both from Oxford University, as well as Jenny Mackness, who represented JISC.
