About the session
Plenary Session 1 - Sleepwalkig Toward the Future
Chair: Helle Lauridsen, Lyngsoe Systems
This paper will explore the changing research library environment from the perspective of a library director. Set against the backdrop of the ‘wicked problem’ of rapid change in the scholarly communications landscape and the idea of the open library, the presentation will draw on case studies from Cambridge to share honest reflections on current leadership challenges. The paper will consider the mission and position of the library in the academy, and strategies to avoid ‘sleepwalking into the future’.
