The document provides an overview of current developments and future trends relating to the library website and online services at University College Dublin Library. It discusses statistics on usage of the current website, planned enhancements including a new institutional repository, moving some content to subject guides and using new platforms like LibGuides. It notes that the website will need to be restructured and packaged differently across various hosted platforms going forward to better meet user needs in an evolving information environment. A consultancy will help develop a new vision and roadmap for online library services over the next 2-3 years.
