Scarborough catalogue - going online!

Staff of the York & Scarborough Library Service are currently busy inputting Scarborough Library resources onto the previously York Teaching Hospital Library only online catalogue .

A reminder too that Scarborough Library is currently staffed between 10:00-15:00 Monday to Friday. The Libary is open, however, from 09:00-17:00.

Online encyclopaedia Wikipedia has blacked out the pages of its English-language website for 24 hours today in protest at draft anti-online piracy legislation before the US congress. Read more by clicking on the link above.
