- Motion text
Congress calls upon the NEC to campaign against deprofessionalisation of the services, for example in university or college libraries and computing services, which give essential support to learning, teaching and research.
While the growing scale of electronic services has widened access to resources, it is generally unrecognised that it has also increased, rather than decreased, the need for professional advice and training for users.
Congress calls upon the NEC to collect evidence highlighting the detrimental effect of deprofessionalisation on both staff and students, including its negative impact on the quality of library collections.
