4th seminar - "Partnership in Academic Excellence : UNICA Scholarly Communications Seminar 2008"

What should UNICA University Libraries be doing to support their researchers ? How is teaching and learning delivered in UNICA sites ? Can UNICA libraries guarantee that the digital material which they provide for their users will be accessible in 10 or 50 years time ? If you are not sure of the answer to any of these questions, then attendance at the 2008 UNICA Scholarly Communications Seminar is for you.
