The Situation As of November 2012
London Metropolitan University invited "bids" from interested institutions; the proposal of the London School of Economics (LSE) was found the most acceptable, since it guaranteed to preserve, maintain and develop the collections as an individual entity within the British Library of Political and Economic Science, with a dedicated reading room, archival space, etc. The LSE also offered continued employment to members of permanent staff who wished to remain with the library. However, the building would not be handed over under the arrangement, and would remain part of London Metropolitan University. It is envisaged that the LSE will take over maintenance of the building from 1 January 2013 to May 2013, by which time the physical transfer should be well under way, if not complete. During this period it is intended to maintain a level of reader access to the library, details of which will be publicised.

Famous quotes containing the words situation and/or november:
“An actress reading a part for the first time tries many ways to say the same line before she settles into the one she believes suits the character and situation best. There’s an aspect of the rehearsing actress about the girl on the verge of her teens. Playfully, she is starting to try out ways to be a grown-up person.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
“During my administration the most unpleasant and perhaps most dramatic negotiations in which we participated were with the various leaders of Iran after the seizure of American hostages in November 1979. The Algerians were finally chosen as the only intermediaries who were considered trustworthy both by me and the Ayatollah Khomeini. After many aborted efforts, final success was achieved during my last few hours in the White House.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
