Good Morning and apologies for cross posting:
The March edition of Information Overload is now available from -
http://www.iea.com.au To access please visit the publications pages
should you be interested in reading.
As librarians and information managers we have a responsibility to the
organisation that we work for to provide the best material in the best
form for use by the other members of the team/organisation. Which sounds
like an obvious thing to say I know, however this can be rather one
sided. Some organisations pay lip service to the fact that they have a
library to maintain and to develop.
Budgets are cut at the same time the cost of books, journals and
licences increase. Space is re-allocated; and our collections grow old
and stale. We have little or no money for replacements (when things fall
to bits or don't come back), new editions or the many new titles that
will enhance the collection that we have. We rely more and more on
electronic resources and Inter Library Loans to plug the gaps between
what our users want and what we can provide in-house. And we are faced
with answering the eternal question - if it's on the net, why do we need
a librarian to manage it?
The February edition is also available from the site and covered the
subject of conducting a Training Needs Analysis.
Kind Regards
Lorraine
