We’re excited to announce that Insight Asia-Pacific 2024 will be returning as a live event in 2024 at the University of Queensland, Australia. We’re delighted to welcome The University of Queensland as our 2024 co-hosts.
Insight Asia-Pacific is a free, two-day event for library professionals to gather to discuss the role of resource lists and how to drive the usage of your library products alongside other key topic areas within your institution. There will be lots of time for networking, discussions, sharing best practice and hearing from us about our vision for Technology from Sage moving forwards.

Technology from Sage is focused on how we can help you get the most from the resources that you are paying for as a library, reading lists point a student to their required reading and where to access from in the library, but have you thought about how a student can access when they are doing independent research? This session will introduce you to one of those ways.
10:50-11:20 – Indigenising the Curriculum with Reading Lists, Kia Owens
At UQ Library we’ve been developing a set of resources to assist academics with their efforts in Indigenising their curriculum. As a part of this project we created a reading list in Talis Aspire to be used as a jumping-off point for academics to easily find and procure resources for their courses.
