The message below was posted to
LIS-LINK. Whilst the SCONUL Shared Serviced report it mentions has a Higher Education
audience in mind, public librarians, especially those with a strategic interest
in shared services, may find it interesting. Local and Library
Authorities as well as the DCMS and others clearly see shared services as
a means of delivering efficiencies and improving services.
Note too that the Local Government
Library Technology website also has a short article (feel free to
expand/edit it!) and links to resources on shared services for public libraries

Subject: SCONUL report on shared services on HELibTech: meeting 19th May
The HEFCE funded SCONUL report on ‘Shared
Services’ is available to download on the Higher Education Library
Technology (HELibTech) website. A meeting is being held in London on 19th May
to explore the study’s findings and proposals.
