Last week we were delighted to welcome our IARU Senior Officers to Oxford for their annual meeting. In the beautiful surrounding of Christ Church, one of the historic colleges of the University of Oxford, the Senior Officers shared news and updates from their institutions, discussed the upcoming plans for IARU's groups and initiatives and considered the role of universities in responding to international crises.
We are delighted to be welcoming the IARU Senior Officers to Oxford for the Senior Officers' Meeting on 19-21 September. This will be the first in-person meeting of the Senior Officers since 2019 and we are looking forward to a productive and enjoyable meeting.
Those attending can find all the meeting papers, Tome and practical information for visiting Oxford on the IARU website by logging in.
IARU Libraries launch Research Passport for visiting scholars
The International Association of Research Universities Librarians' Contact Group have developed a Research Passport website to provide a portal for visiting students, academics and scholars to access the variety of online resources available by all member libraries.
The IARU Libraries have extraordinarily rich collections and provide a wide range of services that assist students and academics to access research resources and develop capabilities to be exceptional scholars.
If you are planning to visit an IARU institution, you will find this guide provides an informative and welcoming introduction to the libraries in the university that you will be visiting.
It is now easier to find information about library collections, research resources, open access materials and study assistance when visiting any IARU member library. Users can browse all collections and services available or explore by individual member library. A digital guide for each member library is also available for download.
