There are still places available on the CPD25 24/7 Conference, on Friday 21st
May 2010.
It is five years since the previous cpd25 conference on 24 hour opening,
during which time 24 hour and longer opening hours have become more common in
academic libraries.
As we take another look at the subject, LSE reflects on the last seven years,
SOAS tell us why they started and stopped 24 hour opening and Kingston have
produced a training film about the work involved in keeping the LRCs open
24-hours.
Break out groups are planned to reflect current topics of concern and the day
will end with a panel question and answer session.

Everest
14.15 - 15.00 Parallel sessions determined by feedback after delegates book -
some possibilities:
* I wish I knew then what I know now - you know the electricity bill will go
up and expect the carpets to wear out faster, but what else do you need to
plan/budget for?
* What services to offer? Eg Kingston don't have cash transactions but will
give out binding materials and note charge on borrower record
* Value for money - 24 hour opening is like the Christmas must have toy, but
could we be providing a more effective service by using the funding for
something else?
* Duty of care Security, provision of food, connecting with night buses?
15.00 - 15.15 Tea
15.15 - 16.00 Q&A to panel chaired by Mary Nixon
