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.
