Academic/Industrial Links

Abstract

If links are to be formed between libraries and professional colleagues in other areas, they need to remember that their wider professional objectives are similar and that a clear understanding of respective practices, problems and opportunities is needed. Links can produce better economy; a more comprehensive and quicker service to users; and staff development through the skills and better knowledge of contacts. The extent to which linking or interaction can occur between colleagues and the employment sector is influenced by senior management attitudes and philosophy but most significant is the dynamism of individuals.
