Well, the previous service, OPAC 97, had such a link too. Apparently
the only way of increasing services, for public bodies such as the
British Library, is to avail oneself of sponsorship.
Even from this side of the world, response time is quite reasonable, and
better than the old service -- let alone that it's available at hours
when I want to search it!
