REVIEWS





The People's Network: the Government finally publishes its much-delayed response to the Library and Information Commission's report.

Copyright issues: promising agreements mix with dire warnings. BBC: new libraries co-ordinator appointed.

National Lottery: good news at the LA's briefing. Camden strike: Unison's library strike nears the two-month mark. Plus good news for IT in further education.


National Year of Reading: a new column from the project's Director. Public Libraries: while some services find more money, all get a deluge of publicity from Computers Don't Bite.

IT News: a prize-winning CD-Rom on racial awareness, all-out war over Internet domain names, and the Single Regeneration Budget buys online centres for inner city youth.

Censorship: the Mapplethorpe row grows and grows. But librarians work wonders for World Book Day.

School Library Services: raising their profile. The Government foresees a 'library of visions' for the future. Plus libraries help out at the Leeds City Voice festival.

US censorship ruling: Judge rules for open Internet access in libraries.

Mediawatching: librarians' image is suddenly super-cool (if you discount the camels and the filth).
