The most stable and coherent part of the eLib programme is that which deals with access to networked resources. Finally, much good work has been done on training and awareness. However, it would be more beneficial if future efforts were related to commissions rather than to calls. Cultural Change eLib is not only about information technology. It is at least partly about cultural change, in other words how we are organised to use the developing IT tools.
Cultural change involves new frames of reference, new ways of acting.
Ideas of cultural change will be important to the future of the eLib programme. More work is needed on the twin areas of training and awareness, and similarly on communication and dissemination. Finally, a degree of integration and convergence is desirable, as the successful projects grow towards each other into a successful whole providing overlapping sets of services for overlapping disciplines. It is based on notes taken during the presentation and slides used by the speaker.
