Staff exchanges ‐ new directions for academic libraries?

Abstract

Focuses on international academic library staff exchanges from three perspectives: the author’s personal experience as an exchange participant, as director of a research library which has hosted six exchanges, and as chairman of CURL’s Staff Development Group, which is to implement an intra‐CURL libraries exchange programme in 1997‐98. Describes in detail a model of short, project‐based, reciprocal attachments, rather than traditional, longer‐term, exchanges. Looks forward to an international exchange programme between CURL and RLG libraries.
