Description
This is an annual listing, with contact names, addresses, telephone, fax and electronic mail numbers, of over 1900 major libraries and library authorities in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. This edition lists Children's, Youth and Schools Library Services, and contains up-to-date coverage of all the public library systems within the new 1996 unitary authorities in England, Scotland and Wales, as well as a stop press supplement covering the latest news of 1997 unitary authority reorganization. The libraries fall into three categories. The first are all public library authorities in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Channel Islands and Isle of Man. Entries are given for headquarters libraries, plus the main administrative, divisional, area and regional libraries identified by the authorities concerned. The second are libraries in academic institutions. This listing comprises university libraries, including those of the newly accredited universities, and libraries in institutes of higher education, together with major department and site libraries identified by the institutions concerned.
The third are selected government, national and special libraries, together with departments of librarianship and information science. The directory is also available in the form of continually updated laser-quality adhesive mailing labels, addressed to named chief librarians, or alternatively addressed to the acquisitions librarian.
