In addition, the School of Information Management at Leeds Metropolitan University is currently undertaking a major policy research project into Public Library Policy and Social Exclusion. This is being funded by the library and Information Commission. A report to the LIC and executive briefings aimed at both librarians and policy makers will be available at the end of the project in Spring 2000, and a number of working papers are being prepared, some of which are already available. Further details about the project are available from Rebecca Linley at the School of Information Management, Leeds Metropolitan University, The Grange, Beckett Park Campus, Leeds LS6 3QS; Tel: 0113 2832600 ext 3661; e-mail:
