As providers of information services, librarians are competing in an increasingly difficult market and have turned to aggregators to provide networked access to established reference titles.
In his previous talk John shared his vision of an online reference service for people to use wherever they are and whenever they have a need for information. He is back to report on progress and will demonstrate, using iPads, how learners at home or school can be enticed into libraries. John will be supported by Pete Ciuffetti, one of Credo's top computer scientists: Pete is working with British librarians on ways to increase the accessibility and usage of their resources.
Come and join in the discussion and bring your suggestions for what Credo and other library providers can do to help the libraries they serve.
