It an excellent account of the factors affecting libraries and education on
a global scale, and including the technology etc. Well worth a read, and
full of stats, ideas, examples, predictions etc

Hello all -
I have been asked by my Line Manager to 'project' into the future to
describe the Learning Resource Service which will be required by the
Further Education community of 5 and 10 years hence... it certainly is
an interesting task!
I've brainstormed a bunch of ideas based on the way things seem to be
going with Govt agendas, technology, population and employment trends,
etc. but then I thought - what about picking the brains of all my
wonderful digital colleagues out there?
Any ideas?
Go on - its Friday afternoon!
