VIRTUA – Library Management Software – for lending and returning of resources. Working with the readers – Something I don’t get to do within my normal job, yet it is something I felt was important and when the opportunity arose to do some work in the Reading Room I took it as I believe that working with the Readers gives me the opportunity to put the work I am doing with the SCIF project into a wider perspective. As the readers are the ones who will benefit from putting these online.
