| "This report argues that a standards-based digital platform is the only viable technology for realising recent strategic goals articulated by leaders for England’s public libraries. The platform would allow libraries and their partners to innovate, collaborate and share in ways they cannot now do. The report further argues that the primary mode of service on this platform must be co-production – among library authorities, and among library staff, national and local partners, and importantly, end users. We show how new digital divides have made the mission of libraries – literacy, learning, and community inclusion – as relevant as it ever was. And that in order to provide an energetic response, libraries must invite their users into their digital spaces: their catalogues, their websites, their ebook readers, their online events calendars. We argue that these two measures, a standards-based digital platform and co-production of services, will reinvigorate libraries and create substantial, tangible outcomes in literacy, digital and social inclusion, health, education, and economic participation." | "This report argues that a standards-based digital platform is the only viable technology for realising recent strategic goals articulated by leaders for England’s public libraries.

| - | "The new Wales system allows patrons to use a single card to check out materials from any public library location, rather than restricting users only to the local authority to which they are registered. In addition to the benefit of expanding patron access, the move from individual, local systems to a single, unified system will save authorities up to 70% on automation costs". | + | |

| - | "LibrariesWest is an established partnership between 7 neighbouring library services in the south west of England. In July 2015, Dorset County Council and the Borough of Poole joined existing members, resulting in a ‘coast to coast’ service. Somerset County Council (SCC) is the lead council for the partnership and employs a small number of staff to deliver shared services. Staff costs are shared between the partners proportional to their size based on the population served. The consortium is managed by a board compromising of the heads of service of the member authorities. A consortium agreement governs the management of LibrariesWest and outlines the scope of activity and responsibilities within it, and a Strategic Plan sets out the direction of travel and priority areas of activity. The partnership was established initially to share LMS and Bibliographical Services Unit, but has grown over the years to deliver partnership working in other areas such as shared marketing initiatives and activities, staff training and a shared public enquiry service". \\ consortium | ||

| - | Welsh Government has awarded a single-supplier framework contract to SirsiDynix, one of the largest library management system vendors. The move could also save local authorities up to 70% on current costs, with all local authorities adopting one single system rather than each having individual ones, as is the current practice. The Welsh Government has [[http://gov.wales/newsroom/cultureandsport/2015/150904-all-wales-library-card/?lang=en|announced plans]] for an all-Wales library card, which would allow users to access library services wherever they are in Wales.
