CD-ROM network

CDsThe CD-ROM Network provides access to a variety of databases in many of the Westminster libraries. Many of these resources have been replaced by online resources accessible either from within libraries such as Westminster Reference Library and Marylebone Information Service, or remotely by members of Westminster libraries via any computer with an Internet connection. This is in addition to the Gateway to Websites which has links both to these resources, and others that are freely available on the Internet. Nevertheless, they still provide a valuable resource and are listed bellow along with their location:
