Seminar 2025: 40 Years of NAG: Looking Back, Looking Forward
May 15, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
£192.00 – £252.00Event Details
We invite you to join NAG in celebrating our 40th birthday, in looking back at where we have come from, and looking forward to potential future developments.
We will be reflecting on our experiences in the acquisition, management and development of library resources: examining and assessing how our processes and workflows have changed; considering the positives and negatives; and seeking to identify practical actions to refine and improve them for the future. Through this reflective practice, we seek to enable our attendees, as library professionals, to build and share specialist knowledge from experience in order to better deal with complex situations and demonstrate accountability, and to examine, challenge and foster the values that inform our practice.
NAG’s 15th edition of the highly successful Collection Development Seminar and Public Libraries Forum event will take place at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, Trevelyan Square, LS1 6ET, on Thursday 15th May 2025. For this edition, the topic is “Looking Back, Looking Forward”

- Introducing and refining an accessible ebooks policy at Cambridge (Rebecca Gower and Jayne Kelly)
