‘EVERYTHING AVAILABLE’ – A VISION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BRITISH LIBRARY SERVICES FOR RESEARCH

To ensure its services to researchers remain relevant in a rapidly changing world of scholarly communication and research practice, the British Library has started a major business change portfolio called ‘Everything Available’. Under Everything Available, the Library is modernising its core digital infrastructure, developing new services and fully integrating open access and data into its workflows. This talk will introduce the audience to Everything Available, outline the strategy behind the portfolio, describe current and planned activities and invite a discussion on library service provision for research and potential areas for collaboration.
