Case Studies

MLA South East is building up a resource of case studies highlighting innovative work in museums, archives and libraries in the South East region.

Our aim is both to encourage the sharing of knowledge and good practice within the sector, and to demonstrate to those outside the sector what museums, archives and libraries can contribute to wider initiatives.

Below is a list of all case studies relating to Archives.

Visit our Publications section for a full listing of case studies.

  • Smarter Café Roadshow
  • 06 June 2008
  • The Smarter Café Roadshow was a pilot partnership project between Libraries and Heritage and Buckinghamshire Adult Learning to offer taught ICT courses to target groups in UK online centres based in three libraries around Buckinghamshire. The use of laptops gives much greater flexibility of provision than would otherwise be available. They enable learning to be offered in several locations. The partnership with Adult Learning can enable the People’s Network to offer a much more active resource to promote learning in libraries. The libraries can offer a more relaxed, accessible and familiar environment than could otherwise be offered in a conventional learning centre.
