A page for the “Report considering the current structure and role of public libraries” has been set up on Local Government Library Technology (LGLibTech). It contains the information provided on the Government’s (DCMS)  website and also (many thanks esp. to Frances! ) a trail of relevant blog/post articles. Go to

http://lglibtech.wikispaces.com/Review+of+Public+Libraries

The aim is to provide a place to share information and keep track of useful content. LGLibTech is a free and open (creative commons licensed) community resource. Anyone can edit it-- so do feel free to add any content you feel is helpful.) For the previous (Labour)  ‘modernisation review” LGLibTech provided links to some of the responses submitted e.g. from CILIP, SCL, UKOLN etc.)

While technology is not the only factor in driving (disruptive) change it is perhaps one of the major ones in shaping the competitive challenge public (and other) libraries face.
