Information Services Newsletter

Director's Welcome

More than half of UK universities have brought their libraries, computer and media services into a single organisation. There are significant advantages in such an approach and this Newsletter represents some of them, namely reducing the number of communications sent out to academic and other staff and demonstrating that improved services can be expected from such mergers. The new Learning Resource Centres at Jordanstown and Magee, due to open in 2002, will also be examples of the benefits of co-operation between previously separate services.

This Newsletter is designed to be scanned easily and quickly, with detailed information on the Web for those who want to know more about developments only briefly described here. at a time of rapid change, i hope you will find that this publication is a useful guide to how we in Infiormation Services can help you.
