Making Everything Available: British Library Research Services and Research Data Strategy

The way that researchers generate, analyse and share information keeps evolving at a rapid pace. The British Library’s key programme, Everything Available, will ensure the Library’s continued support for research with services to enable access to information in an open and timely manner. This paper describes the activities planned, with a particular focus on the aims of the Library’s recently refreshed Research Data Strategy. It will give an insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by a National Library in providing relevant services in an ‘open’ world.
