The concept of a national organization for information: the British Library, achievements and potential

Abstract

Rather than making an exhaustive survey of the Library's progress since 1973, I have selected a few areas that seem to me to be important in illustrating the British Library's work. The tide of my paper is The concept of a national organization for information: the British Library, achievements and potential and in order to understand the Library it is necessary to know something of the background and the pressures which led to this institution being set up.
