Local Studies Group (Welsh branch) Day School
A Future for the Past?: Current issues in Local Studies
Wednesday 29th November 2000
Department of Information and Library Studies, University of Wales
Aberystwyth.
This day school is intended for those with an interest in some of the
current issues affecting the provision of local studies within Wales and
throughout the UK and Ireland. Although each of the talks outlined in the
programme may appear to stand alone, they are interdependent of one another.
The aim of the school is to outline some of the principles and procedures
local studies librarians need to consider in operating a local studies
service. This being so, the day school should be of particular interest to
those with a stake in the performance of local studies services within
public library authorities.
