Apologies for cross-posting OUTSOURCING: practice and opportunity in libraries, museums and archives CPI Library and Information Policy Seminar, Stamford, Thursday 22 March 2001 In 2000, Resource commissioned Bournemouth University and CPI Ltd. to research Outsourcing and Externalisation in Libraries, Museums and Archives. This seminar provides the first opportunity to discuss the outcomes of the study and its implications. It will outline major findings and key issues, and give opportunities to compare perspectives and examples of current practice from the three domains, together with a view of public sector outsourcing from the suppliers' angle. The seminar will help managers from libraries, museum and archive services to understand the range and scope of outsourcing arrangements and partnerships with the private sector, the reasons for their growth, how they work, the issues involved, and future trends.
