The public library service, which is profoundly important, is in trouble. Library Consultant Ken Chad will be in conversation with Tim Coates to discuss his analysis of the problem, potential ways forward and the implications for library technology. He has analysed public libraries in the UK, US and Australia. Tim currently works as a lead adviser on both public and academic libraries in the Freckle project in the US. Tim worked in the book industry for more than 40 years: in retailing, libraries and publishing. He has been managing director of several large book retailers, including Waterstone’s, the leading UK bookstore group, and of WH Smith in Europe. He has been UK general manager of YBP, the academic division of Baker and Taylor, and now part of EBSCO. He has consulted for library authorities and library suppliers in the US and the UK. He is frequently called upon to write reports for local and national government bodies on the public library sector.
After the webinar, a recording will be made available to those that have registered
