Barnardo’s Bookshop in Edinburgh sometimes receives special and interesting books of a specialist nature and are happy to put them into the hands of people who might not otherwise have realised they were available. They now have sufficient new stock ready to be put on sale and would like to offer ELISA members a chance to supplement collections.

Bookshops and Libraries
How can Blackwell’s work with libraries? Blackwell’s Bookshop on
South Bridge has done some serious re-vamping and is open to input from all library and information professionals as to how the bookshop can improve its service to libraries and how it can complement the work of libraries in Edinburgh. The shop is planning to arrange a networking event for ELISA members but would welcome some direct input at this point.
If you have any ideas and suggestions on how you think bookshops in general, and Blackwells in particular, can offer an improved service to libraries and information services, please leave a comment here.
