Abstract
This report covers the first full year of operation of the British Library Lending Division. During the year, integration of the staff of the former NLLST and NCL has been completed, there has been an unprecedented increase in demand, arrangements with back‐up libraries came into full operation, and the International Federation of Library Associations established at Boston Spa an Office for International Lending. The Standing Conference of National and University Libraries made its first award for functional efficiency in new library buildings to Phase I of the new building, and outline planning permission was received from the local authority for an eight‐storey Phase III building. The translation service offered by the BLLD, and the seminars and courses arranged at Boston Spa, were put on a cost recovery basis from January 1975. Finally, the acquisition of music scores was expanded into a comprehensive programme, in order to give a parallel service for music scores to that given for serials and monographs.
