Public libraries and adult learners - a research study The list may be interested in a research study examining adult learning service provision within public libraries in England. The study is funded by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and is being carried out within the School of Business Information at Liverpool John Moores University. The study is looking at current provision for adult learners in public libraries in England in light of the Government's strategic vision as outlined in Framework for the Future. It will establish key strengths of public libraries in the field of adult learning provision, with the aim of identifying priorities for libraries to develop services, enhance and build on current provision, and focus on key strengths. More details about the project are available on the School's website: http://cwis.livjm.ac.uk/bus/cilm/mla_project.htm I would welcome input from any list members about this project. In particular we are interested in hearing comments on or knowledge of good practice in adult learning provision in public libraries. My contact details are below.
