Phil Sykes, University Librarian, has been elected Chair of the Research Libraries UK (RLUK) Board, a consortium of 29 of the largest research organisations in the UK.
“This is an enormously exciting time to be taking over as chair of RLUK,” said Phil. “Our libraries are more central to the work of the universities they serve than they’ve ever been and with the financial pressures we are under it’s now imperative that research libraries work together creatively to provide services that are both excellent and efficient.”
