3.  A document library provides a secure place to store files where
you and your co-workers can find them easily, work on them
together, and access them from any device at any time. For
example, you can use a document library on a site in
SharePoint Online to store all files related to a specific project
or a specific client. Adding files or moving files between
folders is as easy as dragging and dropping them from one
location to another.

4.  The British Library is the national library of the United
Kingdom and the largest library in the world by number of items
catalogued. It holds over 170 million items from many countries.
As a legal deposit library, the British Library receives copies of all
books produced in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including a
significant proportion of overseas titles distributed in the UK. The
Library is a non-departmental public body sponsored by
the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

5.  The British Library is a major research library, with
items in many languages and in many formats, both
print and digital: books, manuscripts, journals,
newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings,
videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps,
prints, drawings. The Library's collections include
around 14 million books, along with substantial
holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating
back as far as 2000 BC.

6.  As part of its establishment in 1973, the British Library
absorbed the National Lending Library for Science and
Technology (NLL), based near Boston Spa in Yorkshire,
which had been established in 1961.
 Before this, the site had housed a World War II Royal
Ordnance Factory, ROF Thorp Arch, which closed in 1957.
When the NLL became part of the British Library in 1973 it
changed its name to the British Library Lending Division, in
1985 it was renamed as the British Library Document Supply
Centre and is now known as the British Library Document
Supply Service, often abbreviated as BLDSS .

7.  BLDSS now holds 87.5 million items, including 296,000
international journal titles, 400,000 conference proceedings, 3
million monographs, 5 million official publications, and
500,000 UK and North American theses and dissertations. 12.5
million articles in the Document Supply Collection are held
electronically and can be downloaded immediately..
 The collection supports research and development in UK, overseas
and international industry, particularly in the pharmaceutical
industry. BLDSS also provides material to Higher Education
institutions, students and staff and members of the public, who can
order items through their Public Library or through the Library's BL
Document Supply Service (BLDSS). The Document Supply Service
also offers Find it For Me and Get it For Me services which assist
researchers in accessing hard-to-find material.

8.  In April 2013, BLDSC launched its new online ordering and
tracking system, which enables customers to search available
items, view detailed availability, pricing and delivery time
information, place and track orders, and manage account
preferences online.

Library. It helps people search and get their

any kind of document. The fruitfulness of
BLDSC is that it more useful for future
generation.
