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.
