I first got involved with libraries when I was still at school. I always knew what I wanted to do. Forty years on it's time for a new chapter, and I have taken the decision to finish work at the end of this year.

BDS Celebrates 30 years.

1995 saw the first feature-length film created entirely in computer-generated graphics. Astronomers discovered the first distant star to have an orbiting planet. Microsoft launched Windows 95. And BDS was founded https://t.co/kI2BWmhszD

BDS held its UniCat Discovery Day at the British Library last month.

The UniCat service from BDS automatically requests and imports high quality metadata for print books, ebooks and open access titles directly into the library system.
