Strategic Planning in an Institutional Context" 12-30 Lunch and Depart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anyone contemplating the current state of information and library management must marvel at the changes that have taken place over the last decade or so. Technology has been the driver of much of that change in terms of the range of information that has been made available, the level of accessibility it has opened up and the scope for managing information that it has provided. The results are some spectacular configurations of information services delivery in places such as hybrid libraries. In addition, clients whether as individuals or institutions have discovered a new voice that is articulated through a demand for demonstrable accountability, quality and efficiency. Here the outcomes are sharpened responses to user needs allied to tangible demonstrations of best value and enhanced impact with [very] scarce resources. The changes will not stop. What will tomorrow look like; will we be able to afford it; and how will we manage getting from now to then [and beyond]? At LISU's Summer 2001 Seminar a gathering of specialists will share their experiences and knowledge of planning for and managing change in all its dimensions. Techniques which push the envelope of planning further, such as scenario development will be explored and accounts of change management in a range of institutions will be related. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ OTHER DETAILS MEALS AND ACCOMMODATION: The seminar will take place at Burleigh Court, Loughborough University's modern, high quality short course centre on campus.
