2. Outreach: Investigating Learning Needs Available to Purchase

In 1983 Islington Library Service published a report as part of the London Borough of Islington/Inner London Education Authority Learners Advisory Service research project. Based on sympathetic interviews from which extensive quotations have been drawn, the report explores the learning needs of adults in Islington. The setting up of the Islington project was timely and the outcome of developments in the two related fields of continuing education and librarianship.
