  4. A work in progress “ The Information & Library Service (KFILS) is … widely respected for much of what it currently provides, which may just need to be maintained, enhanced and promoted more in the future. However, the ILS team members are not complacent; they realise that if their services are to be as highly esteemed and relevant in the future, they need to do some things differently and provide some things that are new… they must help shape the future rather than waiting to respond to it.” ILS Development Plan 2007-08
