Other information
The calendar, course slides, bibliography and other information are all accessible to students on the UCLouvain Moodle platform.
This biennial course is complementary to the LCLIB2120 course (2018-2019, 2020-2021, etc.) as both courses provide a comprehensive overview of library management and bibliometrics issues. Nevertheless, each course remains independent of the other and neither of the two is a prerequisite for the other.
