If you visit the Library in person we would be very happy to arrange an in-person induction, including a tour of the Archives.
As well as covering the topics in the above online training, an in-person session is an opportunity to find out about the wide range of services we offer before browsing our world-class collections in the Library at Burlington House. You can have a go at searching the GeoRef database, visit the Map Room, and meet the Library staff.
We offer these sessions any time during normal opening hours. Please get in touch to arrange a date and time. Email: library@geolsoc.org.uk
