Hi all, anyone any ideas/suggestions ?
I tried to join the excellent sounding Singapore Library, had a few problems filling in the form for some reason, so contacted them direct.
Below their reply :-
-------
"Thank you for your email and interest in NLB eResources.
Yes, we do welcome foreign members.
Please allow us to share with you that our Library (NLB) eResources including eBooks are free for Digital Library members and foreigners who wish to register a Digital Library account with NLB require a FIN. Therefore we regret to inform that only NRIC-holders , NLB Members or foreigners with FIN may register Digital Library accounts that are enabled to access selected eResource databases from their homes or offices.
With regard to foreigners without a FIN, you may access our eResources only by being present in our libraries. Should you visit one of our libraries here, you can register a Digital Library account using your Passport number"

So, it would seem either they've changed joining requirements, and those who managed it
on here are lucky, or I'm doing something wrong !
What is an NLB, NRIC, or, come to that, an FIN, which seems vital ?
