Colleagues Regional and Library Programmes at the British Library, established as part of Public and Regional Marketing last October, recognises the strategic importance of the regional agenda and builds on the partnerships developed by the former Co-operation and Partnership Programme (CPP) between 1999 and 2003. In response to the Library's new strategic directions CPP had, in recent years, moved away from project based funding and general Calls for Proposals to developing partnerships with, among others, regional agencies and public libraries to provide better services to users in the regions and introduce the British Library's collections and services to new audiences. As part of this change in focus it has been decided to close Concord: the Library and Co-operation website . Regional and Library Programmes now has pages on the British Library website under the Co-operation banner . Some of the material on Concord has been transferred to our new pages. The new webpages have material on: The work of the Regional and Library Programmes team including: Our work with the regions Our work with public libraries The Laser Foundation The Full Disclosure initiative NEWSPLAN The National Forum for Information Planning (NFIP) Reports from the former Co-operation and Partnership Programme.
