Editor's Notes

  1. Good afternoon. I have just 10 minutes to reflect on the challenges of digital library service. I have provided a much more detailed paper containing my thoughts on this and will here simply quickly summarise a few of the points. My focus is on the challenge to professional librarians and academic library managements that I have seen after various posts in UK university libraries with a digital focus and particularly in my current post at UCD which is the largest Univ library in Ireland, is rapidly redefining itself as a research university and where I have been for just under 3 years as electronic services librarian
