SCORE: A NATIONAL CATALOGUE OF COMPANY REPORTS
A national catalogue of company annual reports held in UK libraries is
now available online under the name of SCoRe (Search Company Reports)
at www.score.ac.uk . Full holdings of the extensive and historic
company report collections at London Business School, Manchester
Business School, Warwick University and Strathclyde University libraries
and the British Library can be searched by company name, or browsed by
industry sector or country of registration. In addition, collection
descriptions and policies, contact and access details are given for a
further 17 significant collections across the UK, via a sensitive map.
SCoRe is one of the key deliverables of a national, Research Support
Libraries Programme-funded project: 'Company annual reports: assuring
the distributed national print archive'. The purpose of the project is
to prevent the loss of endangered or unique company research materials
through improving awareness of and access to company reports and related
documents, and creating a National Collection Policy for this type of
material.
Note: the project was originally planned to run for one year, but has
now been extended until March 2002 thanks to additional RSLP funding.
Further details about the project are available at www.score.ac.uk , or
