Full Event Details:
Birmingham City University’s Library and Learning Resources department believes in
building strong and fruitful partnerships with our local schools and colleges, and above all in contributing to the wider educational experience of our local communities.
We recognise the importance of such collaborations with local schools in providing pupils with a taste of higher education. Such opportunities create an awareness of the role academic libraries have to play in their overall academic experience and achievement. They also enhance their information and literacy skill set and their educational experience in general. This, we hope, will inspire them and help raise
aspirations towards higher education.
The masterclass will include an optional tour of our City Centre Campus.
