Overview of the Library - our Government stakeholders
Our remit is broad and our user groups diverse. As a result we fulfil the objectives of a number of Government departments.
Department for Culture, Media and Sport
We contribute to the Department’s cultural enrichment, lifelong learning and social inclusion objectives. Our regional projects and support for the creative industries also align with the Department’s priorities.
Department for Education and Skills
We support the higher education objectives of the Department for Education and Skills by supporting academic research across all subjects. We also work to develop research skills among school students and lifelong learners.
Office of Science and Technology
As a central resource in the national research infrastructure we support the Department for Trade and Industry and the Office of Science and Technology. In particular, we help to sustain leadership in world-class research and innovation and thereby promote the UK in the competitive global economy.
HM Treasury
Our Economic Impact Assessment study (2003) indicated that the Library delivered £4.40 of direct and indirect value to the UK economy for every £1 of public investment.
