Needing to prove your worth?
Don't know how to argue the return on investment for your library or information service?
Join LIKE on Thursday 26 May for a talk by Caroline Brazier to hear how the British Library proves its return on investment. Continue the discussion over dinner with fellow library and information professionals.
Caroline Brazier is the newly appointed Director of Scholarship & Collections at the British Library. We're delighted Caroline will be joining us at LIKE to discuss how the British Library is balancing the current challenges of budget cuts with increasing expectations on the Library's leading role in supporting Britain in the digital information age.
Caroline will be discussing the British Library's vision and strategy for continuing to achieve its ambitious programme with ever decreasing funding, and how it argues its return on funding investment. She'll be posing some challenging questions on what it takes to deliver high-value information services in times of tough financial constraints.
