eLucidate

UKeiG’s e-journal eLucidate is a key member benefit that focuses on popular and emerging topics in electronic information and ensures that you are in the know.

It provides:

• Expert analysis of hot topics
• Practical reports and ‘how to’ guides
• Advice, opinion and specialist columns
• E-information research updates

Reports, discussions and questions generated from UKeiG training courses and seminars are published in the journal and translated into useful fact sheets.

Members are invited to write articles and reviews for the journal so that we can share your practical experience and best practice. It’s a great opportunity to raise your profile in the profession and to have your opinions and expertise recognised by the wider community.
