Abstract

Reviews the functions and work of SCONUL and how these have changed in the light of the creation of new universities in 1992. While acknowledging the importance of teaching universities within the new overall UK higher education sector, concentrates on SCONUL’s work with and for research libraries: the trainee scheme, statistics gathering and scholarly communication are discussed. In particular, SCONUL’s lobbying function with respect to UK and EU copyright is highlighted.
