Rise and shine with the library
"Rise and shine" is a series of presentations by the library, mainly for researchers and doctoral students. The presentations are sometimes of a more general nature, such as overviews of particular areas of interest. Others are more concrete, introducing particular functions or processes. However, all of them are meant to be interesting and useful for researchers and doctoral students.
If you can't make any of the times offered, you are welcome to get in touch with the library. We will set up a meeting with you, your research group, or perhaps your faculty. We would be happy to come, so get in touch and we'll plan something together! When you book a presentation, you'll decide if the presentation should be held in Swedish or English. Contact us by email biblioteket@hb.se.
We make the PowerPoint slides available afterward in PDF format whenever possible. The files can be accessed here (OneDrive folder).
Time: 08:15 – 08:35 (with time for questions afterwards)
Zoom: https://hb-se.zoom.us/j/66640642560 (restricted to HB accounts via SSO login, the usual way we sign on to Zoom)
Language: Most of our presentations have English Power Point slides, and will be given in English unless everyone listening prefers Swedish. Please see information for each presentation below, where language will be listed as flexible or Swedish only.
Registration: No registration required
