     A number of British Library Research and Innovation Centre research reports 
     were delivered to the Centre during and after its transfer to the Library 
     and Information Commission. I am not sure these reports have been widely 
     reported on so I have listed them below, by title and report number. Full 
     report details are available on the LIC website:

     This index page gives you the option of publication lists for reports 
     dated 1999, 1998 and 1997. I have grouped the titles below by the 
     publication date listed on the item and then in ascending order of report 
     number.
