	Ebony
		Thoughts such as "Libraries are treasure houses of the past and arsenals of the future" are particularly pertinent to State and National Libraries who must of course maintain their dual roles.
		For other libraries, collection development implies provision of access to materials which, even if not held on site, would relate to the interests of their clients and which may require some kind of bibliographic organisation to facilitate discovery and access." These issues are still a long way from being resolved.
		Thus the skills issues for library staff in the hybrid environment can be daunting and a strong commitment to training must be made by the library management if they wish to deliver a first class reference service which encompasses databases and electronic products of many different ranges and complexities.

		This knowledge emphasises the importance of finding aids such as the published indexes and so every endeavour ought to be made to consult them in spite of the fact that they have been published in the form of annual indexes.
		The volume numbers (in the column headed “Ref”) are those allotted by the SRO (and printed on the title page of each volume) and not the numbers allotted by the SLV (which unfortunately bear no relationship to the published volume numbers).
