The latest TACIT can be found here.

It's a bigger than usual edition with a report on the ELISA Full Committee meeting, an article on the role of libraries in education from the Deputy Convenor of the Education and Lifelong Learning Committee of the Scottish Parliament, a profile of the NHS’s Knowledge Network and another View from the West column as well as the usual news and events.
