development. Now that the programme is coming to an end, an opportunity is
being offered for the wider cultural professions to hear how they worked and
to see the results. A number of electronic resources have been developed and
those on the web will of course be available to all. Their developers will
demonstrate how they work and where they will be useful to your users.
The British Library's emerging and ongoing regionally focused programme will
be outlined during the day.
