Never mind about the marvellous libraries in and around London. I was in Leeds this
week, talking to people at the Institute of Fundraising, Yorkshire, about prospect
research. Well of course that involved looking t what local libraries had to offer.

 

I used the website for [Public Libraries on the Web](http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/town/square/ac940/weblibs.html)
and had a quick look at some of the libraries in the bigger cities, and found some
great resources. Leeds has KnowUK, Who’s Who and Who was Who (available from home/
work, etc., with your library card number), and the Leeds Business and Research 
Library has MINT. York has NewsUK, Credo Reference (formerly Xreferplus, available
from home/work, etc), and is considering subscribing to a company information database(
FAME) in 2010. Sheffield has Credo Reference, NewsUK (available from home/work, 
etc), and allows visitors to use FAME.
