About the Book

Universities and colleges of higher education in the UK are subject to ever more rapid change in their functions, resourcing and administration, and this impacts on their libraries and resource centres. The late 20th century saw the introduction of major initiatives such as the Follett Report, convergence, mission statements, University for Industry, lifelong learning, distance learning and franchising, all of which have had their effect on the provision and standard of library services to higher education. Additionally, higher education libraries have needed continually to respond to the challenges and opportunities afforded by information and communications technologies such as networking and the eLib programme, in order to be able to offer their users at all levels a fully integrated leading-edge service. This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the changing functions of higher education libraries and the organizational cultures in which they operate, and offers an assessment of the impact of such changes on service delivery from both provider and user perspectives. Written in accessible style by a former university librarian, it takes care to explain the jargon surrounding its subject and focuses on: the library in the institution; users of the academic library; the impacts and opportunities of ICT; human resources; collection and access management; library systems and networks; specialist services; management and professional issues. An introduction to the range of issues facing academic libraries for students on information and library studies courses and junior professionals, this textbook is also intended for higher education administrators and academic library managers in both higher and further education. Whilst it considers UK scenarios in depth, it also draws examples from overseas institutions.

Review :
