LMLAG - the London Museum Librarians and Archivists Group - is organising a one-day conference on Thursday 26 April 2007 9.30-16.30, BP Theatre, British Museum, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3DG.
"All Change" will look at web, digital and electronic knowledge-sharing developments, the opportunities and challenges they bring for museum libraries and archives, and how to exploit these opportunities, even when resources are limited. The pros and cons of collaborative partnerships will be discussed. There will be sessions on the impact that new information-sharing developments are having on the physical study spaces and services that libraries and archives provide.
