This workshop will investigate the methods which repository managers can use to influence key people in their institutions and develop their advocacy skills to a higher level. It will explore fears and anxieties arising from the advocacy role and aid in understanding the sources of power we use to influence others. It will include the opportunity to practise the skills needed to handle these situations confidently.
