SEMINAR DETAILS Wednesday 20th November 2002 ** Managing Change in Library & Information Services in the Academic and Public sectors with John Pateman (Head of Libraries and Heritage in the London Borough of Merton) and Anne McIlwaine (Library Manager at the School of Oriental and African Studies) ** John and Anne will talk about managing change within library and information services in both the public and academic sectors. Change management is an essential skill that is transferable between sectors and is also seen by many employers as a core competence in the modern library & information management environment. John Pateman, has been Head of Libraries and Heritage in the London Borough of Merton since 1998. He has lead a radical transformation of the library service which has resulted in a new strategy, structure and culture for Merton libraries. He believes strongly in the need for revolutionary change in Britain's public libraries so that they can start to meet the needs of the socially excluded and other communities. He has written many articles and spoken at professional conferences on the themes of social exclusion, social class and internationalism. He was a member of the research team, which produced "Open to All? Public Libraries and Social Exclusion" (Resource 2000) and he advised the Department of Culture Media and Sports on "Libraries for All" (DCMS 1999). He was a member of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professions (CILIP) Policy Action Group on Social Exclusion. He is a Fellow of CILIP and was recently awarded the "Por La Cultura Nacional" medal by the Cuban government for his work in support of Cuban libraries." The second speaker, Anne McIlwaine, has been the Library Manager at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, since February 2002. Prior to that she worked in Library Services at University College London (UCL) for ten years where most recently she held the post of Assistant Librarian, Staff Development and was responsible for initiating a change management programme. Anne is a member of CILIP’s National Council and chairs CILIP Enterprise Board. She also lectures on Human Resource Management at the library school at UCL and contributes to updating the UDC Classification Scheme (most recently she revised Management).
