Swansea University Library recently organized a highly informative seminar day for WHELF on repositories and supporting research. The event covered a wide range of topics from the Welsh Repository Network and the WW1 project, to REF, bibliometrics, ORCID and the experiences of the NLW and Swansea University visit to Antwerp, Ghent and Brussells to find out more about Flanders coordinated approach to digital heritage management.
Presentations from the seminar day can be seen below:
