Services
The Science Information Service offers a range of services to visitors to the National Library od Scotland and to remote users. These include:
Enquiry service
The Science Information Service offers a basic free scientific enquiry service. We welcome enquiries by phone, fax and email, so please contact us to see if we can help with your query. Typical enquiries include checking definitions and translations — e.g. 'What is French for yellow fish?' - checking biographical details on scientists, and checking journal references.
