This week's bulletin mentions a CILIP workshop on e-copyright coming up in
Cardiff in August. Like most copyright events it is not dead cheap but for
such important training, seems good value. I've added at the bottom of this
CILIP Wales bulletin a copy of the publicity for the copyright event
including booking details which you can email back to the organiser if
you're interested. Apologies for the long email but I thought I'd better let
you know soon as it is likely to book up very fast.

1 CYNULLIAD / WELSH ASSEMBLY
Correction to minutes (Current Awareness 265):
Culture, Welsh Language and Sport Committee, draft minutes of 12 May meeting
"£2m had been earmarked in the CyMAL prospectus to develop library services
in liaison with local authorities."
This now reads "A £2m programme budget had been earmarked in the CyMAL
prospectus."
So it covers ALL sectors, not just libraries (unfortunately!!)

3.1 Framework for the Future: Final Quarter Monitoring Report

3.2 Libri lobbies at library seminar
The DCMS seminar on the future of public libraries called in the wake of the
recent Libri report 'Who's in charge' is due to take place on 22 June.
Describing the 1.5% rise in visitor numbers revealed by CIPFA's latest
annual report as disappointing, given that spending on libraries had
increased by 8.5% over the same period, the report's author, Tim Coates,
will call for drastic reforms, beginning in five or six authorities, to
reduce staffing and book processing costs, and increase spending on books.
Bookseller, p6, 18 June
Back to books
This editorial suggests that although there is some truth in the arguments
put by those defending public libraries against criticisms in the Libri
report, libraries have nonetheless been guilty of neglecting books. Their
repeated emphasis on the range of other services they provide, which was
reflected in their responses to the report, 'does not help to highlight the
role of books', it claims.
Bookseller, p26, 18 June
3.3 Wi-Fi hot spots
Every public library in the country could soon include a Wi-Fi hot spot
according to E-commerce minister Stephen Timms.

The Children's Laureate, Michael Morpurgo, warned that reading was under
threat from the distractions of television, the internet and mobile phones,
and that primary school teachers who see books as 'a tool for literacy
hour', (enabling them to get on with their marking) need to do more to
encourage it. Times, p26, 15 June
