LIBRARY/ 2020 review of Library services
In 2020 a review of the Society’s Library and Information Services was undertaken, and the outcomes were approved by Council in November 2020. A report summarising the findings is now available to read.
The review made a wide range of recommendations regarding the development of our Library and Information Services and the next step is to develop an implementation plan.
The Library Users Group welcome comments at library.review@geolsoc.org.uk |
