Following the success of the first UKSG Forum, it was decided to hold a second – this time in a larger, central venue: the Grand Connaught Rooms in London. Under the umbrella title, also the title of this collection of three summaries of lightning talks from the event, were grouped a number of useful topics: Expanding Library Boundaries, The Human Touch, The Future of Library Discovery (a debate), Library Systems, Academic Content Beyond the Academy, UKSG Research and Innovation, Publishing Innovation, Open Access Monographs, KB+, Altmetrics, User Experience and Data Enrichment.
In this article we bring you summaries of the talks by Anna Grigson, Catherine McManamon and Sam Herbert.
