Abstract:

As part of the eLib programme's overall evaluation activities, a recent eLib Supporting Study has been investigating something called 'Mobilisation effects of eLib activities on cultural change in higher education' (HE). This article describes what on earth that title means, and what we've been finding out about the 'culture' of eLib. The study, funded by JISC, is managed by the Tavistock Institute and ends this July. Among our activities, we've interviewed various key people in eLib, and examined project and programme deliverables for views and evidence about cultural change issues.

Note: How many eLib projects does it take to change the higher education culture? Clare Davies, Alison Scammell and Matthew Hall discuss. This article appears in the Web, and not the print, version of Ariadne.
