Resources for courses
Abstract
THE LIBRARIAN in further education and the public sector of higher education has but few bargaining counters in order to argue for improved library services. Potentially his contribution of documents supporting new course proposals provides the most promising channel. Few librarians have, as yet, the power of veto over new courses by simply saying that there are no library resources to support them. This would be the ideal situation—where an internal validation procedure requires the approval of the librarian (among others). Even so, is it ever possible to say that there are no library resources available to support a course? Unless the library is always filled to capacity (ignoring the users' subjective impressions of what ‘capacity’ means), then there are at least study places available.
