*This presentation is free and open to the public. *
Managing even the most acclaimed collections in the context of regional
and global advances in discovery creates tensions around access, use and
long-term preservation. The need to continually balance local needs and
budgetary constraints with the demands of a global, online research
community drives creative new thinking around classic management
challenges. In this presentation, Richard Ovenden will share insights
and aspirations around the management of one of the world’s greatest
assets: the special collections of the Bodleian Library.

**Background Information**
Richard Ovenden is Keeper of Special Collections and Associate Director
at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. A graduate of the
Universities of Durham and London, he has worked as an academic
researcher and a political researcher in the House of Lords, as well as
a librarian in the National Library of Scotland and the University of
Edinburgh before his move to Oxford in 2003. He holds a Professorial
Fellowship at St Hugh’s College Oxford, and Fellowships of the Royal
Society of Arts and the Society of Antiquaries. He has written
extensively on the history of ideas, the history of the book, and the
history of photography.
