    Abstract
    The IMPEL project is investigating the impact which the convergence of computing and communications technology is having on academic libraries, as the traditional archival role moves towards one of giving access to information, increasingly in electronic form. It aims to complement the discussion of technological developments by looking at the social implications of the move towards the 'electronic' library, and a further shift in the balance of teaching and learning. The first stage is concentrating on the implications for library staff, highlighted by the recent publication of the Joint Funding Councils' Libraries Review Group - the Follett Report - and its emphasis on the need for adequate staff training and effective deployment if the benefits of convergence are to be realised. The paper will discuss the context of the research and report on a brief survey of 98 higher education libraries to identify the stage of development towards an electronically based service, from which six have been identified for in depth investigation. The emphasis on library staff reflects the interests of the joint partners in the research - an academic department involved in the education of library and information professionals, and a large, recently converged Information Services Department

    Abstract
    By reference to the service management literature and by using the repertory grid technique, develops a set of service attributes which give a good indication of user perceptions of information systems success. Examines their relationship with the nature of the organisation, the level and involvement of users, and the kind of system to which they relate. There is no single overall set of attributes that relate to user perceptions of success, but it is possible to find subsets that do. The measurement and analysis of these attributes are helpful in setting management policies and guidelines for the improvement of perceptions of information systems success
