Introduction to Developing a Service [Event Ref. No. TG1/PQW]

Twitter – #cpd25PQW

This series is devised primarily to support candidates for professional qualifications. However, many of the events in the programme are highly relevant to all levels of library staff – who may or may not be seeking Certification or Chartership, but who wish to further their professional skills and development.

With a mixture of presentations, practical exercises and opportunities for questions and discussion this workshop aims to give participants an insight from a senior manager about the decisions they take to shape and change their service.

The first part of the session will explore external factors that inform the strategic development of a library service in the HE sector –  such as changing student demographics and expectations; the HE marketplace; developments in IT; and financial pressures.

The second part will explore ways in which these external factors have influenced decision making by the senior management team in the library, including examples of initiatives which have been introduced to meet university strategic needs.
