England’s Public libraries get new web resource

MLA head of library policy, John Dolan, said: “In order for public libraries to streamline and improve services, collaboration is essential. Reference Online is just one of the ways that MLA is supporting libraries in becoming better businesses and helping to transform libraries for the 21st century. Making the most of this fantastic opportunity will free up the time of library staff and release funds for other resources.”
