My key challenge “Demonstrating the value of SC to the University in tough times, the need for improved engagement with research and learning agendas, and ensuring the delivery of the social responsibility and public engagement agenda” OCLC/RLUK Survey of Special Collections and Archives in the UK and Ireland, 2013

Overview SC at the University of Manchester Survival factors Developing a vision for SC Realising the vision Reflections

SC at the UML Division of the University of Manchester Library Internationally significant collections The John Rylands Library Research library Visitor attraction

- Lack of vision and strategy - Poor visibility and profile - Punching below our weight + Expert, committed staff + Amazing collections + Stunning building + Ambitious University & Library Survival factors

SC vision Where are we now? Where do we want to go? What does SC do? What do you love? What is your strength? What are you going to do? What is your miracle? What will stop us? What are we good at? What does the University need us to be good at?

SC Strategy Statement Stimulating and enabling research and learning Interpretation, access and discovery Customers Public engagement and social responsibility Collections The John Rylands Library Innovation and sustainability Income generation and finance Marketing and communications

Beyond survival….. I'm not goin' give up (What?) I'm not goin' stop (What?) I'm goin' work harder (What?) (Survivor, Destiny’s Child)
