British Library makes online progress
From the article, “The British Library is making good progress with its electronic services, although needs to become more ‘customer friendly’ in some key areas, according to the latest assessment by official auditors. The library, which holds over 150m items, has undergone enormous organisational change in order to offer its online services, but it needs to ‘remain vigilant’ to ensure that the benefits from its digital programme can be sustained, the National Audit Office says in its report.”
