Identifier: Acc.13657/1-71

Scope and Contents

The papers include minutes, committee papers, working group papers and reports produced by the Library and Information Services Council Scotland (LISC(S)) and its successor the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC). Although the organisation dates from 1982 there are papers relating to its creation between 1979 and 1982. There are a number of papers which relate to LISC partners in Northern Ireland and Wales. There are several files which relate to the restructuring of LISC(S) into SLIC. Also included are conference materials and newsletters generated by the two organisations.

The papers were received with papers from the Scottish Library Association (SLA) and the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals in Scotland (CILIPS). The SLA and CILIPS papers are now Acc.13656.

Arrangement

The original order of the minutes and committee papers has been maintained. The working group papers and reports have been arranged chronologically, but in instances where there is the same start date the group with the shortest duration appears first. The original working group papers were in designated folders and this order has been maintained.

A small number of papers held by SLIC, but not part of their minutes, correspondence, committee papers, working group papers and reports, have been added to the SLIC Miscellaneous papers section.
