Library staff week: How to Train our Students for Tomorrow?

The URCA library invites you to its 2nd Staff Week revolving around user training: come and meet us near Paris, in Reims, to explore the city of Champagne, and to share your experiences as librarians taking part in user training. In workshops, we’ll address topics such as the growing use of AI and the need to train our students to use it adequately, the ways in which we can encourage critical thinking against the rise of fake news, and how to manage a new generation of students.

Located 50 minutes from Paris and 30 minutes from Charles de Gaulle Airport by train, the URCA has a privileged position, in the middle of the Champagne vineyard. Some guided tours will also take place to show you the lovely city of Reims and its Champagne cellars. The library will cover the costs for

•  welcome coffee
•  lunches
