As a current library service manager within the UK Public sector I hoped to be able to identify with those situations, reflect on the accounts and apply some of the lessons to my own experiences. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/76/thebridge/ Mon, 01 Aug 2016 23:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/76/thebridge/ The format of this second edition is apparently similar to that of the first (2009), with the regular use of short scenarios or ‘vignettes’. The first of these heads the preface, and others are then used frequently within each chapter to illustrate new subjects. This approach is designed to increase the readability of the text (in which it succeeds) while aiming to offer examples of ‘real-life’ everyday situations for those managing libraries in secondary schools. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/42/inman/ Sun, 30 Jan 2005 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue/42/inman/ E-Government is essentially about improving service delivery in central and local government. Our customers expect a level of service and access to services, which is effective, efficient and convenient. They want to be able to make contact with government at a time and in a way which fits in with their lives. In order to deliver excellent public services in customer-focused ways we have to use the available technology to its very best advantage. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/author/jane-inman-author-profile/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/author/jane-inman-author-profile/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/author/stella-thebridge-author-profile/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/author/stella-thebridge-author-profile/ Stella Thebridge is Principal Librarian: schools and reading, Warwickshire public libraries.
