This comprehensive directory lists UK organisations which offer collections and services on your subject, identifying contacts, plus information on opening times and facilities, and free and charged services. Librarians and information officers, students and academics, politicians and lawyers, pressure groups, local authorities and planners, journalists, companies, consultants: everyone who needs an answer to a specific question or access to information for detailed research will find this an invaluable book. Since the publication of the 33rd edition UK government departments have continued to float off constituent units which have become separate agencies, and so a number of organisations now appear under new names or as separate entities. Elsewhere there have been many other reorganisations and mergers, which have led to changes of name. These are all reflected in this new edition. There is an organisational index and a subject index.
