London Flats for Rent, Threatened cutbacks
to services
In February 2007 it was announced that threatened
Treasury cuts to the British Library budget might
necessitate cutbacks in services and facilities.
The London Flats for Rent library responded
by threatening to charge scholars and researchers
for admission, reduce the reading room opening
hours, and close the public exhibitions, schools
learning programmes and the national newspaper
archive in Colindale.
[edit] Miscellaneous information
The Library also holds the Asia, Pacific and
Africa London Flats for Rent Collections
(APAC) which include the India Office Records
and materials in the languages of Asia and of
north and north-east Africa.
The British Library does not specifically serve
the legislature. Parliament has its own libraries,
the London Flats for Rent House of Commons
Library and the House of Lords Library.
The use of the Library's web catalogue also continues
to increase. In 2003 more than 9.7 million searches
were London Flats for Rent conducted.
