Keyfile Libraries

The use of in-house libraries remains one of the most favoured sources of technical product information and in the RIBA Research Report 2005, 79% of specifiers said they use in-house libraries as a source of specification information.

Keyfile Libraries is a comprehensive literature creation and / or distribution service for product literature. One of our expert technical authors can write a Keyfile Datasheet for you or we can take your own technical product literature (conforming to BS 4940) and ensure that it forms part of the libraries of approximately 600 subscribing specifier offices across the UK. A team of over 50 dedicated NBS librarians visit the libraries that we manage on a frequent basis, to ensure that all members of the practice always have access to your hard copy literature, categorised properly and up to date.

Product details and benefits include:

• Your technical datasheet is fully cross-referenced in the award winning RIBA Product Selector and on ribaproductselector.com as a downloadable PDF with links to your email and website
