Dear Susanne
At the moment in the depths of the Autumn term, it's time! Teaching commitments and university administrative activities make it very difficult to focus on anything developmental, let alone day-to-day work or even emails.
Other than that I would say the range and cost of databases. For example we are having ongoing discussions with EMAP regarding our access to AJ Buildings Library which we are now going to have to pay more for. Just one of a number of specialist architectural resources (others BCIS, CIS, Avery Index, Digimap and so on, making the library support to architecture rather expensive compared with other subject areas.
That is just off the top of my head - be interested to know what others think...

Dear All,
Just a quick email to ask for views on the most pressing issues facing
architecture librarians today ... Your feedback would be very much
appreciated.
Hoping this finds you well on this dark, wet morning (in Cambridge
anyhow!).
Best wishes,
Susanne and Tanya
