acquire, and that the access we provide is easy to use and is integrated, for “one stop shopping”

• POLICY – we develop policies for how content is made accessible and we make sure that the staff who have to implement these policies understand what to do and who should do it Oversee design and implementation of technology that supports and sustains the Library’s content access services.
