Just noticed that Katherine Hamnett is one of the speakers in a panel discussion at the British Library. It is part of their Inspiring Entrepreneurs series and is titled 'From brainwave to business: building success from your intellectural property.'

I wanted to remind you that we do subscribe to the Construction Information Service. It is available from the A to Z list of Databases - see link below.

Museum of London, Docklands

We had a library planning day at the Museum of London, Docklands yesterday. It is an excellent source of information regarding the history of the Docklands. There is an archive which charts the development and activity of the docks, port and river from 1770 onwards, including trading, industrial relations, river management and docklands regeneration. The archive features over 40,000 photographys of the port and has 10,000 books on port history. There is also a collection of technical drawings. Unfortunately, there is no searchable catalogue at the moment but the archivist would be happy to help students with their projects or even arrange special visits for groups.
