THE BRITISH LIBRARY: A POLYTECHNIC PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
The establishment of the British Library (BL) from the Parry Report of 1967, through Dainton in 1969, to the White Paper of 1971 and the Act of 1972, was contemporaneous with the formation of the polytechnics. The latter had their origins in the White Paper of 1966, A Plan for Polytechnics. The majority of the polytechnics were formed in 1970/71. Their libraries have grown, without central government assistance, to respectable size.
