OpenAthens day for librarians
28 November 2024, 10:00 – 15:30
Jisc office, 15 Fetter Lane, London EC4A 1BW, UK
About the day
Join us in London for the day to meet the OpenAthens team and your fellow librarians. We’ll kickstart the day with a few introductory sessions to OpenAthens for non-customers. Customers will then join and we’ll workshop your current access and identity management challenges and how we may help. You’ll also hear from some of our library customers, and our team will run sessions on browser changes, security and misuse, and product updates.
Who can attend?
Any library role, and especially those responsible for access to resources. Places are limited and we reserve the right to restrict places to one person per organization.
Date change
Due to planned strike action on the London Underground we made the decision to move the date of our in-person event from 12 November to 28 November.
