• National and international searchable list of jobs online. (An example is the Guardian’s Recruitnet which allows you to search their job adverts by specific search terms http://recruitnet.guardian.co.uk/ or you can find English as a Foreign Language jobs from all over the world at http://www.pacificnet.net/~sperling/jobcenter.html )

• The Library will be able to provide access to up to date consumer news and information from around the world (an example is Motorcycle Consumer News http://www.mcnews.com/ )

• The library will provide access to all these services online so people won’t have to come into the library to use them.
