Join the 7th EIFL webinar on using Open Journal Systems (OJS), free and open source software that facilitates the management and publishing of scholarly journals. 

The webinar will explain how to manage OJS through containers. Containers are a way to package software so that it runs the same everywhere, making installation, updates and troubleshooting much easier. We will walk participants through setting up OJS with commonly used tools like Docker and Docker Compose, demonstrate how to keep it secure and backed up, and share practical tips for everyday management.

Growing numbers of public libraries are incorporating STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) activities in their services and programmes. 

STEAM is a learning approach that stimulates curiosity and creativity, and builds skills that are useful for education, work and day-to-day life, like problem solving, critical thinking, communications and collaboration, while simultaneously developing learners' knowledge of STEAM subjects.
