A press release on the Information Literacy mailing list (LIS-INFOLITERACY@JISCMAIL.AC.UK) has announced that, "as of 1st January, InformAll exists as an organisation in its own right.

Staffordshire Libraries have launched a new online catalogue called the ‘e-Hub’.
For the first time, visitors to the Staffordshire Libraries webpages can view books in all formats (electronic and hard copy) from the same catalogue, in the same search.
The e-Hub, which can be found at the same web address, replaces the old online catalogue and has a number of added features and benefits.
Once logged in, one click on a title is all that's needed to show detailed information about a book, a short description of what it's about, previous readers reviews, and all the formats the title is available in.
Broseley Library and Customer Service Point will be temporarily closed for around six weeks from Monday 29 February 2016 for refurbishment, as part of the transfer of the library to Broseley Town Council.
The transfer follows a public consultation led by Shropshire Council, in which proposals for the future of the library and Customer Service Point were put forward for residents to consider. A total of 87% of respondents opted for the transfer of the library to the town council.
