I know most of you will be turning to thoughts of holidays soon, but attached is the draft timetable for the Spring Semester's series of SGRS Seminars to allow you to study and decide which you would like to attend in the new year. We have a busy schedule with many of the sessions from this Semester being repeated for the benefit of new students and those who may have missed them first time round. I hope we will continue and improve on the level of interest shown throughout the Autumn series and you will enjoy the sessions we have planned. The final programme will be published in the next few weeks, with venues and timings being confirmed, and I will be starting taking bookings for the SGRS seminars in January. You can however, book up for any of the Information Services sessions or the Teaching and Learning sessions now by contacting the Information Services helpdesk on x 7250 ( infocentre(a)stir.ac.uk.) or Training & Development Unit on X 7026 (staff.development(a)stir.ac.uk) Sylvia Barnes Research Office Secretary Room 3B1 x 7041
