The radical library: taking up the challenge - 13th November 2003The radical library: taking up the challenge Royal College of Nursing, London W1 It's no news that libraries and library services in the academic sector are changing fast, but this seminar brings together practitioners from within and beyond universities to give some real life examples of radical developments taking place now. Speakers will show how even large research libraries are increasingly relying on electronic-only access to the journal literature, how the explosive growth in student numbers beyond the traditional full-time campus-based 18-21 cohort is transforming services, how the library building (if it's still called the 'library') is changing beyond recognition, and how provision is now tailored much more closely to demand. There will also be a look at these advances from the publisher's point of view, and two well-respected figures - Bob Campbell of Blackwell Publishing, and Michael Breaks of Heriot-Watt University - will top and tail the day with wide-ranging and controversial presentations giving their views on the current position and future trends in information demand and supply for teaching, learning and research.
