Libraries of the Future Project
The Libraries of the Future project is being funded as part of a joint initiative to explore future scenarios for academic libraries, particularly in the context of a rapidly-changing environment. It will help higher education institutions and organisations look at the challenges faced from a fresh focus and formulate strategies to ensure the sector continues to be a leading global force.
The project partners are the British Library, JISC, RIN, RLUK and SCONUL. ‘Academic libraries of the future’ is an 18 month project and is being undertaken by Curtis+Cartwright Consulting Ltd.
The project is now in the closing stages with the publication of the detailed scenarios in mid February, the final major workshop on 28 February and the publication of the remaining project outputs in early April.
Attached is a full project update from Curtis and Cartwright which explains the development of the project and also gives more detailed information on the up-coming February workshop.
