Sheffield's Learning Centre: More than a library for the twenty‐first century

When is a library not a library? When it's a Learning Centre. Sheffield Hallam University has integrated several former departments, including the library and others such as the Learning and Teaching Institute, into the Learning Centre, a new department headed by the former university librarian Graham Bulpitt. The name, Mr Bulpitt says, was chosen to emphasise that it was more than a replacement for the existing library. The Learning Centre is ‘an integrated environment which anticipates changes in teaching and learning, and developments in information technology.’
