SCONUL has put together a response to the upcoming REF Open Access consultation, that was submitted on 17^th June 2024. This response is based on a consultation with members and has been written to correspond with the word count specified.

SCONUL is looking for authors from within and beyond the library sector who are interested in paid consultancy work authoring case studies from and for the sector.

SCONUL has launched its new Technology Survey today which will provide our member institutions with vital intelligence on the performance of products and services across a wide range of library activity. 

SCONUL is pleased to announce that it is bringing members together in Birmingham on 18 November for a one-day face-to-face conference. The conference will provide an opportunity for the community to come together to look at the ways in which we can successfully navigate the changes and challenges ahead.

Members will be discussing learning from the SCONUL Technology Survey and discuss adoption and support of library technologies for small and specialist institutions. SCONUL will also provide an update on the development of the Access Scheme.

There is a huge amount of interest across the community in AI developments. In addition to a programme of webinars focused on particular aspects of AI, we are also bringing together those with an interest in AI developments within libraries on the last Friday of every month from 10am to 11.30am for the remainder of this year for an AI coffee morning.
