Guidelines for legislative libraries
2009
Cuninghame, Keith
This new edition has been written by Keith Cuninghame, a member of the senior management team in the House of Commons Library, United Kingdom, for 13 years until he retired in 2006, a regular attendee at IFLA conferences and a participant in the work of the Section for eight years. He has been supported by an advisory group of seven people from around the world with a wide range of experience between them. When they meet, staff of parliamentary libraries are often struck by what they have in common, even though there may be great differences between the institutions they work for and their political contexts. The libraries of legislatures are institutions that, by the simplest definition are special libraries. They serve the particular and defined clientele of Members of Parliament, together with their personal staff. They also support the institution as a whole and may have additional roles for example a curatorial one, or one providing information about parliament to the public and schools.
