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.
