Summary
COI synopsis: The British Library is probably the most comprehensive library service in the world both within Britain and overseas. It incorporates a massive reference division housed mostly in the British Museum, and a lending division which can find any registered publication in the world. London Line takes advantage of this service to order a special article on Africa which is traced and delivered to us within a couple of days.
Researcher Comments
Uses substantial footage from the COI’s ‘This Week In Britain, No. 953’ programme.
