SCONUL co-hosted with CILIP a Parliamentary reception at the House of Commons on Monday 21 October.  In our conversations with MPs and peers, SCONUL colleagues talked about the myriad ways in which our member libraries support the needs of students and enable research, and highlighted the current financial challenges facing the sector and our objectives around reducing the cost of content. 

SCONUL has supported Jisc, British Universities Finance Directors Group (BUFDG), RLUK and other peer organisations in a public statement on the financial challenges facing the sector and a call to suppliers to restrain costs.
