Have just been informed that most, if not all, London Library authorities
were no longer willing to continue financing it.
It was one of those really useful projects that would have worked well with
a centralised library body. Same thing applies to centralised ebook and
online database provision so that all library users get the same service -
it's always a question of where the funding comes from!

From what source was WILL previously funded? (i.e who is doing the
cutting?)

Subject: WILL - 'LondonLibraries'
I read with dismay that the 'What's in londons Libraries (WILL)' had been
scrapped due to budget cuts. This was an extremely useful web tool which
allowed an across London public libary catalogue search. The cutting of this
resource seems very strange when efforts are being made to foster
co-operation between London library authorities and to ultimately push
towards consortium based services. How much did it cost to administer WILL,
I can't imagine it was more than peanuts in the over all scheme of things?
