OECD Experts’ Meeting on Libraries and Resource Centres for Tertiary Education
- Share to:
Historically thought to be the ‘centre’ of tertiary education, the library is changing with developments in information technology, teaching and learning methods and changes in society. Coupled with budget pressures, demands for expansion and increased expenditures, the maintenance of library services requires examining new methods of delivery and use. Overall, with regard to the future of tertiary education, the library is an important institution to investigate.
This document reports on a meeting of experts organised by the OECD Programme on Educational Building (PEB), in co-operation with the OECD Programme on Institutional Management in Higher Education (IMHE). The meeting, entitled ‘Libraries and Resource Centres for Tertiary Education’, was held in Paris on 9th and 10th March 1998. The goal of the meeting was to better understand current trends in tertiary libraries and the effect of these trends on the demand, organisation and design of libraries. The complementary concerns of these two programmes were presented as themes for the meeting.
Twenty-eight experts participated, representing sixteen countries: Albania, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The meeting brought together professionals from the many diverse areas involved in the building, management and use of tertiary libraries. The participants included architects, university librarians and library directors, professors, information technology experts, institutional managers and government representatives.
