Below are details of a very timely conference on library co-operation from
the Welsh U&CR section. Come if your library is currently re-examining its
interlibrary loans procedures because of the changes at the BL (speakers
from SEREN and LAMDA). Also come if you provide services to users at a
distance: following recent research suggesting that what many distance
learners want is access to a library locally rather than have postal
services, hear how UK Libraries Plus can be part of the solution and about
the NLW's new links with other academic libraries. Finally, come to be
present at the offical inauguration of a new co-operative scheme in Wrexham
and learn from their experiences.
All in all, a must for any library!
