National Library of Scotland

The National Library of Scotland has recently completed a research project exploring the role of national libraries in twenty years time i.e. 2030. Focussing on small, technologically developed countries, the report looks at changing customer behaviours, publishing trends and future developments in digital libraries. It includes a series of interviews with leading library thinkers around the world on the challenges and opportunities facing national libraries.

This project will inform the long-term strategy of NLS. As many of the issues it covers are common to other libraries, it is hoped that the report will be of wide interest. It's available here
