UKSG Student Roadshows
The UKSG maintains links with those universities offering library and information science courses and is always pleased to organise a half-day presentation ('UKSG Roadshow') for students on the various facets of the serials industry, covering the initial publishing process, the range of services offered by the subscription agent and other intermediaries, and the role of serials in the library, including the management of e-journals.
