(www.findit.org.uk) The Find it! website is one of the central pillars of the Inspire programme to support learners and learning. Find it! holds data on many of the libraries involved with Inspire. Public, university, FE, health and an increasing number of specialist libraries have all contributed and further details are being added every day. The Find it! website has created the first single point of access to the resources of such a wide range of libraries. It promotes the great wealth of collections and information which, until now, has largely been hidden in our libraries. This is a very exciting development as, with Inspire and the use of Find it!, we are effectively creating a distributed national library available to everyone. Find it! allows anyone to identify, quickly and easily, - which libraries hold resources on specific subjects where these libraries are and what the terms are for visitors to access those resources. Adding your library's details to Find it! Developing a website of this sort does not happen overnight and Find it! is a work in progress. Adding further information is essential if we are to make the most effective use of the generous agreement of many libraries to allow referred access to their collections. If information about your library, its special collections and its collection strengths is not yet on Find it! - and you would like it to be - please follow the four steps below: 1)   Contact Sally Curry with the name and address of your library and ask for a user name and password 2)   Download the Brief Collection Description Manual and one of the Collection Description Templates which are available on the Inspire documents page 3)   If you need help, each of the regions on the Inspire website has a contact list of people who have completed a Workshop on Findit! and who are happy to help. 4)   If there are still issues which cannot be resolved, please contact Sally Curry who will respond as quickly as possible.   This page was last updated in January 2008
