ABSTRACT
The 1996 creation of NYPL's Science Industry and Business Library (SIBL) merged the collections of the Science/Technology and Economics/Public Affairs research divisions with the circulating materials from a central branch library. The aim of this collection and staff integration was to make SIBL an engine for NYC's economy and to build a more diverse clientele. Other elements attracting new audiences include the facility, resources, technology, training, and Interpretive programs. Five science exhibits have spawned complementary classes, seminars, and sci-tech collection guides. SIBL is using the Web to offer more content (e.g., science images) and services to offsite users.
