Visual arts provision in public libraries: threats and opportunities1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 June 2016
Abstract
Local government re-organisation, educational changes and increasing costs of materials are just some of the external threats faced by UK public libraries. Internally the threats come chiefly from the need for financial savings, but they can come from our own unwillingness to make change. However it is an exciting time, with new initiatives coming from government particularly in the areas of educational development and information technology, and opportunities for greater cohesion in planning and management. All these provide challenges for librarians in the visual arts.
