National Library of Scotland - reserved manuscripts

The National Library of Scotland (www.nls.uk) has news about reserving manuscripts:

'A new NLS service means reserved manuscripts are now available for delivery on request by readers, normally within a few minutes of arrival in the Special Materials Reading Room in George IV Bridge in Edinburgh. Reserved rare book and music items are also available on request. The new facility aims to provide a quicker service for readers who have special collections material on reserve rather than waiting for scheduled delivery times. All orders for items not on reserve will continue to be delivered at the advertised delivery times throughout the day. More information about these new arrangements is available on our website.'
