Supporting our members
SCONUL represents the academic and research library community in the UK and Ireland. We advocate for our diverse membership, speaking with a single voice on the strategic issues facing the sector and arguing for the value and needs of libraries with government, regulators, service providers and many others. We can only operate with the support, energy and valuable time of our members and we are grateful for the time and commitment you make to meeting the needs of our community
We provide support and leadership for the sector, bringing members together with external and international thinkers to support active consideration of service and wider sector developments, for example on AI. We share intelligence through events, case studies and briefing papers driven by our Board and strategy groups.
Our strategy groups and community of interest groups are available to staff at member institutions to join and are a great way of helping to shape the future of the sector and widening your networks.
We offer colleagues a range of services and resources to help you progress in your career, engage with the wider library community and understand the library landscape more fully. We help our members stay fully briefed on the latest developments, for example on shared services.
