ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

The Bibliographical Society decided in 2005 that it would use its website to offer space for bibliographical work-in-progress and additions and corrections to bibliographical reference works, especially those published by the Society. In 2006, the Society came to an agreement with the School of Advanced Study at the University of London to make use of the SAS e-Repository for storage of databases and other electronic documents. The Society’s Council invites both members and non-members of the Society to take advantage of these two facilities to offer electronic documents for publication on the web. We hope that this facility will be of particular use for work-in-progress, which can be updated as required. [End Page 378]
