Publisher's Synopsis
Up to now, special libraries in industry have been something of a well-kept secret, although they are a vital source of information in many specialist fields. This guide helps the reader access some of the best by providing detailed entries on nearly 200 specialist libraries in the UK's top business and industrial companies.
All the libraries listed have been selected on the basis that they are willing to answer serious enquiries from outside their organization. The libraries are listed in A-Z order with a detailed subject index, plus industrial sector and name indexes.
Entries give:
* full address and contact details,
* a summary of the size and subject scope of the stock,
* availability of services to outside enquirers, and
* details of publications produced by the organization.
