Information Services strategy workshops: help shape our future services

We’d like to invite University staff to a workshop to help us shape our strategy for 2016 – 2020.

We’re developing an Information Services strategy to guide the next five years of technology and library services at Kent.

We’re running a series of lively and thought-provoking workshops, open to all University staff. If you’d like to be part of a conversation shaping Information Services for the future, book a place on one – email is-admin@kent.ac.uk, stating which date you’d like to come.

Workshop dates 

Academic staff (all departments) – a choice of four dates:

  • Friday 13 May 13:30 – 15:30
  • Monday 16 May 13:30 – 15:30
  • Friday 20 May  13:30 – 15:30
  • Friday 27 May 10:00 – 12:00

Professional services staff (all departments):

  • Tuesday 17 May 13:30 – 15:30

Academic Division staff can attend any of these sessions.

About the workshop
The workshop will be a lively interactive session. We’ll look at how we work with and for students, academics, professional services and partners. There will be a graphic facilitator on hand to make a visual narrative of the workshop and ‘draw’ out themes from the activities.

You’ll have the chance to:

  • say what matters most to you about the future of Information Services
  • understand Information Services better

What happens next?
We’ll be engaging with IS staff through a departmental meeting where we feed back and discuss workshop findings. We’ll use the results to create a draft strategy document, which we’ll circulate from June.
