Growing Knowledge {British Library + JISC et al}



This 'Growing Knowledge' exhibition looks interesting - The main focus is on the role of digital technology for researchers who use the British Library but there are some interesting points about the changing expectations of researchers which I'm sure will resonate for those within academic libraries. If anyone gets the chance to visit the exhibition I'd be interested to find out whether any of the tools and gadgets they're exhibiting make it onto your library wishlist.

There are some more videos on the exhibition website: http://www.growingknowledge.bl.uk/ (not in an embeddable format alas).

There's a chance to see some of the tech on this Reuters video about the exhibition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A1hpXkMmvM [embedding has been disabled unfortunately]

If you haven't seen it already then it's also worth taking a look at the British Library's 2020 Vision which was crafted as the result of a year long consultation exercise: http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/stratpolprog/2020vision/2020A3.pdf
