The main tutors will be Stefan Andersson and Helena Backman, both librarians at Uppsala University Library (UUL) and Per Cullhed, strategic development manager at UUL. The online repository Alvin (www.alvin-portal.org ) will be the main tool for the workshop. The second day, Professor Nicholas Pickwoad and Athanasios Velios, PhD, both at the Ligatus Research Centre at the University of the Arts, London, will make a joint presentation where professor Pickwoad identifies the way that a researcher would require material served at their desktop computers and Athanasios Velios will propose ways of structuring data to allow this to happen online with references to the LoB (Language of Bindings) thesaurus and Linked Data. The workshop language will be English. Uppsala lies conveniently close to Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The hotel nearest to the library is Akademihotellet https://akademihotellet.se/en .
