The Charles Holden Lecture, by Prof. David MacKitterick (Trinity College, Cambridge): 'Academic libraries in the early 21st century: metamorphosis or dissolution?': 30 October 2014: 6.00pm: Chancellor's Hall, University of London, Senate House, London WC1E 7HU
As they face ever more complicated demands from readers, publishers, financial challenges and skills shortages, libraries are meeting change in many different ways. How far do headline-grabbing stories of achievements and disasters reflect the nature of change, and its cumulative effects for the future? In his lecture, David McKitterick will re-examine some recent news stories, and suggest how both classical mythology and the great changes among English libraries in the 16th century may help us to understand what is happening.
