In this section, we invited the people behind several of the major Web-based resources for librarians (and, for that matter, academics, students and researchers), to tell us about what they have built and maintained, and how it is useful for people in the academic and research communities.

NISS - National Information Services and Systems: Annette Lafford and Oren Stone talk us through NISS, one of the major sources of on-line information for academics and librarians.
BUBL - how BUBL benefits academic librarians: Alan Dawson and Jan Simpson take us through BUBL, an old service recently transformed from being Gopher-based to Web-based.
The Library Association Web site: Alan Cooper and Finbarr Joy talk about the past, present and future of the Library Association Web Site.
