Colleagues may be interested in the initial response of CILIP to DCMS' "Framework for the Future". You will find the CILIP press release at: http://www.cilip.org.uk/news/2003/110203.html . Bob McKee, Chief Executive of CILIP and a member of the DCMS project stakeholder group that advised on the strategic framework, and Barry Cropper, Chair of CILIP's Executive Board, welcome the report but also note a number of the report's shortcomings and other concerns for the future.
The Framework will also be the main item on the agenda of CILIP's Public Libraries Panel on 4 March . It will be important to see how The Framework can be used constructively to benefit our users and society more generally.
Apologies for any cross-posting.
