Plymouth Libraries are delighted to announce the launch of PLS-Online, to be
found at http://www.webopac.plymouth.gov.uk
The new services available include:
* Catalogue search by author, title and keyword. Highlights of Plymouth's
catalogue include: the largest collection of music performing sets in
south-west England (and one of the largest in the UK); books in the Naval
Studies collection (thought to be the largest outside Greenwich); rare
ornithological works in the Moxon collection; indexes to articles published
in naval periodicals and local newspapers since January 2000.
* Self-reservation, self-renewal and access to borrower record for
registered members.
* The Plymouth Business Directory - the City Council's official online
business directory compiled with help from Plymouth's Economic Development
Unit; the most complete and current for the city.
* The Plymouth Song Index - one of the very few Web-based Song Indexes
worldwide, with almost 60,000 song titles contained in 2,000 song albums,
all available on ILL from Plymouth.
* Clubs and Societies - a database for Plymouth, SE Cornwall and SW Devon,
searchable by topic and area.
* The Music Information Centre - a database of local music teachers and
groups, searchable by instrument and name.
* Translators - a database of local translators, searchable by language.
* Charities - a database of local charities.
* Services for Children and Young People - a database of preschools,
playgroups and out-of-school activities, created with help from the
Council's Play Development Unit.
