| Welcome
to your new Research & Innovation Newsletter |
|
In
July, over 800 R&I Newsletter subscribers participated
in a survey where you told us how we should change the
way we communicate news to you. As a result of that
feedback, we are pleased to present our new R&I
Newsletter that is more concise, more focussed on recent
and breaking news and easier to "skim". We hope you
like the new format, but please feel free to give us
your views, good or bad, by emailing marketing@bl.uk |

Reprints services nears launch |

In the June newsletter, we
included an article informing you
of the development of a new service designed to make
it easy for our customers to order multiple copies of
articles from a wide range of publishers and with full
copyright compliance. We are pleased to announce that British
Library Reprints will officially launch in March 2007 and will
include a paper reprints service (where a high quality
reproduction of the article is sent by post) and ePrints
(where the article is downloaded as a PDF from a secure
website). If you would like to be kept informed of
developments to this service, simply send an email to barry.smith@bl.uk
