- Is there a satisfactory framework of liaison within the UK to enable publishers, booksellers and librarians to make the right connections?
- Is there British publishing industry too concentrated in the south-east of England?
- Are mergers and takeovers strengthening or weakening entrepreneurship?
- What are the key ingredients of efficient library book supply?
- How is the storage and transfer of data by electronic means going to change the way we work over the next five years?
- What are the most important current trends in library funding, budgeting and selection?
Sound like a list of possible current conversation starters? Well actually these are from the proceedings of our second annual NAG Conference back in 1987!
The one about “storage and transfer of data by electronic means” is a bit of a clue but otherwise it could be our current Call for Papers (and yes, that “electronic means” business did turn out to be a big thing!)
Our NAG Seminar and Forum for 2025 is all about celebrating forty years of NAG and looking to the past and the future so if you fancied taking one of these topics and reviewing it for today, we’d be delighted to hear your ideas!
Drop us an email with a short abstract by Sunday 2nd February.
