CILIP Communities, Monday 6 September 2010 Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:00:00 +0000 National Catalogue article in CILIP Gazette https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=lis-pub-libs;9b4a7760.1009 'What happens if and when the "virtual library", particularly digital books (including e-books and audio), becomes a national service? The same could so easily apply to enquiry and subscription database services, e.g. a full and single national version of Ask A Librarian / Enquire - (won't help too much with local enquiries). There are huge cost savings and reduction in duplication to be had here.'
