LISU

LISU is an internationally renowned research and information centre for library and information services, based in the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University. We collect, analyse, interpret, and publish statistical information for and about the library domain in the UK, and undertake research and consultancy projects for a wide range of organisations.

It is hard to see how policy makers, service providers, or researchers can carry out their work effectively without the continuing work of LISU. Reference Reviews, 22(2), 2008, p8
We all raved about WEWL and said it was our bible and how much we all loved it and relied on it! Quote from Reference Librarians Meeting. Now in its third edition, Who Next? is becoming something of a classic of the children's literature scene... Stella Thebridge, Childrens Librarian, Warwickshire Libraries
