OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Disability History Hackathon
Are you interested in disability history? Do you enjoy locating quality research materials on the internet?
Join a group of volunteers at the Disability History Hackathon on Fri 2 December to find resources which will form the basis of a Disability History Resources LibGuide.
After a brief training session on advanced Google searches, you will work individually or in small groups on locating research resources (databases, archives, websites, etc.) on a particular aspect of disability history. You will create brief descriptions for each resource which will then added to the Disability History Resources LibGuide at a later stage. We expect to spend up to 2 hours on the Hackathon with a break in between and refreshments at the end.
What will you get out of it? Learn advanced Google search tips from a professional librarian; discover relevant research materials; network with other researchers; be a contributor to the Disability History Resource LibGuide; free refreshments.
