Changing rooms: designing an Information and Library Service for the future
Ray Phillips and Valerie Wildridge (Information and Library Service, King's Fund)
In 2007 the King's Fund Information and Library Service (KFILS) was set a number of challenges, including but not exclusively: the need to move to a smaller location and make that new location a success, moving to a greater electronic presence and developing services commensurate with that, as a team, surviving and thriving during a time of change and making sure that we have the right skill set, structure, outlook and products to ensure we continue to shine as a service. As we are about to move into our new location (August 2008), this presentation will firstly discuss how we have planned the space to fulfil a number of tasks, including increasing our footfall; its being a vibrant area for discussion, a thoroughfare and a tool to promote the ILS and the organisation more widely. Secondly, how we have and how we are moving to a greater electronic presence - what has worked, what's in process and what hasn't been as successful. Finally, we will discuss the lessons learned from these activities, and where we go from here.

Study Day: "SUCCESS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT" - an informative and practical workshop for those wanting to improve their project management skills.
