THE 10-YEAR SCIENCE & INNOVATION INVESTMENT FRAMEWORK – E-INFRASTRUCTURE
“The growing UK research base must have ready and efficient access to information of all kinds…This is the life blood of research and innovation.
The Government will therefore work with interested funders and stakeholders to consider the national e-infrastructure (hardware, networks, communications technology) necessary to deliver an effective system. These funders and stakeholders include the British Library, which plays an important role in supporting scientific research and potential, including providing benefits to smaller business in the UK through access to science, engineering and technology information sources”
Science & Innovation investment framework 2004-2014

UNIQUE FEATURES OF THE BRITISH LIBRARY
The British Library is the only organisation with a statutory public good remit to collect, preserve and provide long-term access to research information for the whole of the UK We are guardians of the scientific intellectual property generated by others – we do not generate intellectual property
Have by far the largest collection of information in UK, reflecting 250 years of unbroken collectingBeneficiary of UK legal deposit and UK’s biggest purchaser of material Collect all published formats, including both print and digital. In addition to journals and books, have largest collection of patents, conference proceedings and theses in worldCollect from all types of sources from UK and overseas, including commercial publishers, non-profit learned societies etcCollect across all disciplines, including Science/Technology/Medicine, Social Sciences, and Arts & Humanities
Unparalleled range of information services including:World’s largest remote supplier of research material Through reading rooms provide unparalleled access to breadth of resources, including print and digital sources
