Our Webinar Officer is Claire Grace (Open University) who reviews all suggestions for future webinars.  You can submit your ideas here.

UKSG offers a range of free webinars which support distance learning and attract professionals with diverse experience from a wide range of organisations throughout the world. With around a quarter of members based outside the UK, it’s important to ensure UKSG also meets their training needs.

“UKSG webinars are routinely among the best organised and presented webinars I attend.” – Martin Wolf, University of Liverpool

The webinars are a fantastic opportunity to listen to an expert speaker without any travel costs. Registrants can listen to the webinars live and take part in Q&A or watch a recording at a time that best suits their time zone or schedule. The hashtag for UKSG webinars is #UKSGwebinar which attracts considerable commentary during the live sessions. They are open to all (you do not need to be a member of UKSG).

  • Access to the slides (if available) and, often, a Q&A document

“Webinars allow me to attend sessions on topics both critical and tangential to my work with no more investment than my time–it’s like being able to have a tasting plate from a dozen conferences.” – Colette Mak, University of Notre Dame

“It’s easy to participate in a UKSG webinar. You get great examples of best practice, good ideas, and contact information if you want to follow up – and you don’t have to travel.” – Marie Cairney, University of Glasgow
