Shared Services [Event Ref. No. TG5/SHAR]

Libraries face continuing challenges to improve services on an ever decreasing budget. Sharing services is one way of making the most effective use of the resources at our disposal. Three different institutions talk about their experiences, from sharing electronic resources and space, to sharing practices and experiences.
