Today I learnt that, contrary to popular belief, researchers still use libraries. New figures released by Research Libraries UK (RLUK) show that there was a 10% increase in visits to its 23 UK university member libraries from the previous year. There were 35 million visits, which is the highest number since records began. The figures represent 2009/10 which is the latest year for which full data are available. RLUK is a consortium of 30 research organizations in the UK and Ireland, which includes the three UK national libraries. Thank you CILIP Weekly Information World for bringing this to my attention.
