The Director’s View: Updated Library Policies and Strategies

As part of the new Library Strategy I and senior colleagues have been reviewing the list of policies and supporting strategies which the Library has developed to support its Mission. All policies and strategies, of course, should be driven by the needs of the Library Strategy and this has been the theme of the review, which I led over the Summer.

As a result of this work, the updated listed of public policies can be found on the Library website here; supporting strategies and documents which are on the LibNet site can be found here.

All strategies and policies develop over time and this is a sign of success, since it indicates growth and responses to new challenges. Accompanying this review is a parallel review of committees and working groups in the Library. This work is ongoing and I intend to share the results with colleagues when it is completed later in the autumn.
