The HE library sector sees very significant benefits arising from apprenticeships and traineeships being included within their library teams. The findings were identified by a recent survey the full results of which are available here

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.  

Welcome to the first in a series of webinars about how to get ahead in libraries, where we’ll be exploring career options for those looking to take their next step on the ladder.

We are excited to have our speakers confirmed for the SCONUL Autumn Conference on 18 November, including our keynote speaker: Dr Jummy Okoya, Dean of Office for Institutional Equity and Associate Professor of Leadership and EDI at the University of East London, who will present on Leadership through challenging times.

We will be discussing a range of issues linked to SCONUL services, including our forthcoming CPD review. SCONUL will also provide an update on the development of the Access Scheme.
