CRUMBS OF e-HOPE IN BAGUETTE OF MISERY

Submitted by Editor on Tue, 20/07/2010 - 22:55

We may all be going to economic hell in a financial handcart, but at least hard-pressed Edinburgh City Libraries are continuing to market some excellent services excellently.

Their latest initiative highlights how anyone with a library card can access free information about around 8,000 grants and charitable foundations.

Funderfinder PIN (People in Need) allows UK individuals to search sources of funding for educational purposes, or in response to poverty, disability or ill-health.

Funderfinder GIN (Groups in Need) does much the same for groups and organisations.

For other free electronic library resources, go to Reference works and Complete Business Reference Advisor.

Information is power: let's use what remains of our civic loaf while we still have it.
