What is the British Library? What\u2019s in the collection? How can I find what I need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Join the British Library online on Monday 28 October for the first 2024 Doctoral Open Day where you\u2019ll get an introduction to the Library, an overview of the extensive collections, and practical tips for how to use the catalogues and navigate the digital resources. It’s highly recommended for PhD researchers of all disciplines and subject areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Book your place <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have picked up the basics with the introductory webinar, you\u2019ll be able to choose from a range of other Doctoral Open Days, each introducing an area of the collection so you can focus on what will be relevant to you. If your research spans multiple collections, please feel free to attend more than one. You\u2019ll be able to meet the curators, see objects from the collections, and learn more about careers in the sector. If you’re unsure which Open Day would be most suitable for your research, feel free to get in touch at pgr@bl.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In-person Doctoral Open Days will be taking place at St Pancras on the following days: If you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive updates about the Doctoral Open Days, as well as other research opportunities, please email pgr@bl.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the British Library?
