Announcement

The Collaboration is delighted to announce that Bibliu have agreed to sponsor this year’s conference

The Collaboration is thrilled to welcome back long-time regional colleague, Antony Brewerton as this year’s keynote speaker.

Each year the Conference Group chair and committee seeks to identify and invite a keynote speaker who can draw insights around the core conference theme for attendees. More importantly though, the committee tries to find speakers who can also energise, empathise and engage with the audience in new and exciting ways

It is time once again to reveal the theme for this September’s Collaboration conference – are you ready…to engage?

Dates for the 2022 Collaboration Conference have been drafted – so keep 6-7th September free if you’d like to attend as a delegate or speaker.

How did you adapt and grow in the past academic year? Our 2021 conference is going to be all about…you!

The Mercian Collaboration is delighted to announce the theme for this year’s online conference: 'Adaptation and Growth in Times of Adversity'. This year the conference will be held online as two half day events on the 9th and 10th September 2021, and will be open to all academic library staff.

Conference Group reveals details of the venue and date for #Mercian18

After the success of last year’s Mercian Collaboration Conference, planning is already well underway for this year’s event.

Timely event for library staff working in customer services and circulation

Circulation procedures and new LMS implementations seem to be a common theme amongst university libraries at the moment. This session will give people a chance to discuss policies and procedures with colleagues at other institutions and see how one institution has carried out their LMS implementation. This event is aimed at customer service managers, LMS teams and anyone who deals with circulation procedures.
