The RLUK Conference 2010 will take place in Edinburgh on 10th - 12th November 2010.

The Conference will be co- hosted by the University of Edinburgh and the National Library of Scotland and will be held at the Radisson Hotel on the Royal Mile. There will be opportunities for tours at both hosting libraries throughout the conference. To register your interest please click here.

Based on a theme of innovation in a time of financial challenge, the Conference will feature a programme of outstanding presentations, interactive parallel sessions, and a fast-paced 'pecha kucha' session highlighting new, innovative library projects, together with great networking opportunities and Edinburgh hospitality.

The conference will also see the development of the RLUK mentoring programme including an 'Introduction to Mentoring' session and a 'Speed Dating' session. The conference session will be the beginning of a two year mentoring programme looking at developing one-to-one relationships and encouraging networking within our member organisations. RLUK would like to encourage staff from all senior levels of Member Libraries to take part in the Mentoring Programme. We particularly encourage Directors to sign up as mentors in the Programme.
