The Report of the Group on a National/ Regional Strategy for Library
Provision for Researchers (written by Prof Michael Anderson from Edinburgh
and known as the Anderson Report) is now available on the net at
http://ukoln.bath.ac.uk/elib/wk_papers/anderson.html
The report discusses and makes a number of recommendations on ways
libraries can work together. A follow-up group is currently commissioning
a study on the real costs of external use of libraries.
Among the recommendations are some that digital preservation needs to be
a priority, and others that promote the ideas of improved national access
to university collections, and even of cooperative collection building
(my pick of the recommendations, but librarians may find others more
interesting).
