What is the British Library for?
We exist for anyone who wants to do research – for academic, personal or commercial purposes

To be a successful entrepreneur, you need to be a pathological optimist and believe you can change things. But you've got to know what you need to do, and how to do it.
The Centre can help you find out, and that can have such a powerful effect.

I found the Centre quite unique. I could get some bits of information by going to a library, other bits by going online, and still more from other sources. But nowhere else but the Centre can you find together in one place both the patent side of things and the marketing and business information you need.
