Graeme Gamblin, Ann Stairmand-Jackson and Nikki Griffin (Birmingham City University), “The journey from Librarian- to criteria-based book ordering: are we there yet?”
Hazel Grainger and Richard Swales (Bath Spa University), “How do you solve a problem like… an entirely rewritten undergraduate curriculum with no extra budget?”

We also offered an interactive workshop session from Jane Secker and Chris Morrison (Universities UK / GuildHE Copyright Negotiation and Advisory Committee) about understanding the value of the CLA Licence and its role in content acquisition in higher education.
The day ended with a panel session for all the speakers.
So far the feedback has been positive overall with comments such as “Nice to hear optimistic approaches to familiar problems” but do contribute your opinions to shape our next events on our Feedback form.
A huge thank you to our Exhibitors and sponsors: Dawson Books, de Gruyter, EBSCO, Policy Press and Proquest.
