Abstract

The British Library is in the process of drawing up a new Strategic Plan to take it forward to the year 2000. Informed by the study report 'Information UK 2000' and by a programme of consultation with the community, key objectives are being identified to develop the services users will need in the future. An important component of the strategy to deliver better services will be the new British Library building at St Pancras in London, while at the same time networking of increasingly electronic information will be applied to serve the remote user. Yet this must be achieved against a probable background of continuing financial constraint, requiring difficult choices and more co-operation both nationally and internationally
