The paper presents a model for academic libraries for the next 20 years. The parts of the model are: 1.) Complete the migration from print to electronic collections; 2.) Retire legacy print collections; 3.) Redevelop the library space; 4.) Reposition library and information tools, resources, and expertise, and 5.) Migrate the focus of collections from purchasing materials to curating content. The interactions of the parts of the model and organizational issues for implementation are explored.

This is the article I referred to in our meeting today.

I was interested to come across the Service Level Definitions page at the Library at the London School of Economics.

Additionally, we have a number of Service Targets which we monitor on a monthly or termly basis. You can see our general service standards and the full results for our service targets for the academic year to date here. We have put a few interesting facts for last month opposite.

Excellent description of how to build a strategic databank for both strategic planning and internal management
