CILIP Action Plan 2016-2020 & School LibrariesCILIP
Presentation by CILIP CEO Nick Poole on the new CILIP Action Plan 2016-2020 and what it means for library and information professionals working in Schools
The University of Plymouth Library, like most, continues to try to
run a first-class service in the face of rising costs and a limited
budget. Tifaine and Nicola will discuss how they are meeting
this challenge by working with the Finance Department to be
more ‘savvy’ about their spend throughout the year, and by using
analytics – particularly with the E-textbooks initiative – to inform
their decisions, and what conversations they have with suppliers
and academics. Acquisition budgets for the sciences at the
University of Cambridge are also under pressure, with the added
complication of being a legal deposit library thrown into the mix.
Yvonne will talk about how increasing e-book provision is being
used to fill the gaps, and many of the frustrations this strategy
involves. She will also discuss the problems that ‘bundled’
publisher offerings create for the science librarian. Tifaine Tricker and Nicola Dickinson, University of Plymouth

Providing open access to digitised special and archival
collections to enable innovative research, teaching and
learning presents a big challenge for institutions due to
the cost and resources needed. This session discusses a
collaboration between Jisc and US Reveal Digital based on
their ‘library crowdfunding’ cost recovery-open access model
for digitisation of special collections and how this enabled
the building of a small fund for UK digitisation. It will invite
feedback from the audience on such community-based
initiatives to inform Jisc’s future planning. Paola Marchionni
