Where has all the learning gone?
Margaret L. Weaver
Head of Learning and Information Services
St Martin's College
Learning is increasingly leaving the classroom and taking place any time any
place anywhere and using technology. Institutions are meeting this challenge
by rethinking their learning spaces - often but not always, within
libraries. This session will outline how the Learning Gateway at St Martin's
College was conceived, designed and implemented to meet the needs of future
learners and their supporters.

Meeting the challenges of e-learning: achieving and maintaining a successful
e-learning culture in your service.
Lindsey Martin
Information and Research Development Co-ordinator HMSAS
Learning and Teaching Fellow
Learning Services
Edge Hill University
Almost all universities have now adopted some form of web-based methods for
delivering learning and teaching to students. Many academic libraries regard
e-learning as having the potential to influence and re-position them within
their institution but we are only beginning to address the cultural changes
that are required to ensure that innovation and support in learning and
teaching shifts from short-term local project to mainstream. This talk will
focus upon the two key factors that determine how well a service is placed
to embrace e-learning; firstly, implementation of a strategic approach to
instituting the necessary organisational and cultural change within a
library service and secondly, its sustainability and maintenance.
