British Library Launches "Information Advice Service"
Once again, libraries, in this case a national library, offering direct help to people wanting to develop and create a business plan. Kudos. At the bottom of this post, note the "see also" reference. We might have a trend starting. Actually, it's really nothing new, but it appears the media might be picking up on it.
From British Library newsletter:
A new free service has been launched in the Business & IP Centre: the Information Advice Service.
The service is aimed at users of the Centre who would like to have guidance on how to find information to develop a business idea. The service offers a 30-minute informal, but structured consultation in which a British Library information expert will work with you to compile a structured research plan. This plan will cover the full range of resources and services in the Business & IP Centre and elsewhere in the British Library.

This is a trend ResourceShelf is very happy to see.
