British Library to pull out of document supply You read it here first. Purely for the sake of artistic and dramatic licence I've omitted the question mark that should rightly accompany that heading. But even with the question mark firmly in place it still comes as a shock, doesn't it? Can you imagine life without the Document Supply Centre? Can you think the unthinkable? Why should the BL pull out and where would that leave RDS? Rather like a science fiction dystopia, I've tried to imagine what such a post-apocalyptic world would look like and what form RDS might take. Assuming, that is, that RDS would survive the fallout. This article will attempt to show why the BL may be on the verge of abandoning document supply and what could fill some of the huge gap that would be left.
