The Squeezed Middle: Exploring the Future of Library Systems
Ben Showers, JISC, January 30, 2012.

Really interesting summary of a recent two-day conference on libraries in the information age. The conference produced a list of library systems objectives, and in addition, writes Ben Showers, several themes emerged: dealing with data rather than systems; the impact of outsourcing on skills and roles; shared infrastructure; and personalization. "An example of one of the presentations can be found on Paul Walk’s blog. The other three were by Ken Chad; Paul Stainthorp and David Kay, and all their presentations will be made available shortly."
