As a proud sponsor of this event since it’s start, we’re happy to announce an opportunity to attend for free! All we need from you is a little feedback. Planning is underway for our 2023 content and we’re excited to be tackling some new topics. To help us prioritize what we’ll cover, we’ve created a simple survey to gather your input about our first training area - Copyright & Access. To encourage responses, especially from those folks who regularly make use of our copyright training, everyone who takes a few minutes to complete this short form will be entered to win a complimentary registration for the 2022 Miami University Libraries Copyright Conference. Winners will be notified at the start of the business day on Friday, September 9.
