British Library outage
The British Library continues to experience a major technology outage as a result of a cyber-attack which is affecting their website, online system and services. They have now released a searchable online version of their main catalogue, which contains the majority of their printed collections as well as some freely available online resources, but not everything is included. A temporary website outlines the services currently available: www.bl.uk
