Dear Staff Development Officers, A reminder that there are spaces on the 24/7 Conference CPD25 are running on 26 April 05. If you are interested in a place please fill in the booking form below and send to me, Sasha Poulter (email: [log in to unmask]) Please book early to avoid disappointment. CPD25 24/7 Conference 26th April 2005 9.30am – 4.15pm The Hatton 51 - 53 Hatton Garden London EC1N 8HN 24/7 opening has remained a lively topic of debate. Although only a handful of libraries offer a 24/7 service, many are considering remaining open for longer and wrestling with the implications. Is extended opening intended for students or to enhance the university's reputation? What services are to be made available and by whom? How is the extension to opening to be funded and can the university be persuaded to pay? How will the library staff cope with the culture change? Our speakers will address these issues and many others as well. If your library service is considering extending its opening hours, this is the event for you.
