Neil Oliver Launches Ask Scotland
Scottish historian, author and broadcaster Neil Oliver has launched "Ask Scotland", a brand new online reference service which allows users to pose any question to a Scottish librarian and receive a fully researched answer within 48 hours.
Commenting on the new Ask Scotland service Neil Oliver said: "Ask Scotland is a fantastic new resource which allows people to access a wide range of information that may not be accessible by simply searching the web".
Aberdeen City Libraries Information Team participates in the Ask Scotland service. We can answer questions on a wide range of topics but we specialise in Scottish information drawing on the rich resources and collections held within Scottish Libraries.
