I hope that this brochure will offer you an insight into the wide-ranging activities undertaken by the School and its member institutes and show you how the School’s activities in the humanities and social sciences complement the needs of the academic community through its unique approach to promoting and supporting the health of these disciplines. I hope the feature articles will give you a taste of the events we run and the services we make available to fulfil our mission to support world-class research in the humanities and social sciences. During this year work on digitisation has been particularly high on our agenda. For example, the project to digitise the Warburg Institute’s Photographic Collection (pages 13–15), the acquisition of the Virtual Museum of Writing (pages 22–3) and the Ruth First Project (pages 26–7) will provide online resources for many researchers in the UK and abroad. During 2011–12 we have been subject to our quinquennial review by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the result of that review is currently awaited. I am looking forward to a positive outcome from the review and my role in steering the School into a new chapter in its development. I am delighted that the financial sustainability that we were able to demonstrate to HEFCE has continued during this year as can be seen from our financial results on page 42. Professor Roger Kain CBE FBA Dean and Chief Executive 2 School of Advanced Study The School of Advanced Study, University of London is a unique institution in UK higher education. Located in the Bloomsbury precinct of the University, the School unites ten prestigious institutes to form the UK’s national centre for the support of researchers and the promotion of research in the humanities and social sciences. The School receives special funding for its mission from the Higher Education Council for England and Wales. The School achieves its national mission by: ■ Providing a research base for an international community of scholars ■ Inspiring, developing, supporting and creating the conditions for research initiatives and networks ■ Enhancing the dissemination of the research of others, and related activities, beyond what they or their institutions could achieve alone ■ Providing specialist research training at Master’s, doctoral and postdoctoral levels, locally, nationally and internationally ■ Adding value to the work of researchers in the humanities and social sciences throughout the UK The School’s research support and promotion activities fall into seven broad categories: events, research training, fellowships, networks and collaborations, digital resources, publications services and library resources. Underpinning the School’s national role is the research and scholarship undertaken by its academic staff. The process of undertaking challenging research in order to extend the boundaries of knowledge across disciplines, and in collaboration with researchers from around the world, is critical to the School’s function as an innovative space for advanced study and its commitment to the highest standards of scholarship. 3 The School of Advanced Study Institutes Advanced Legal Studies English Studies The Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, founded Founded in 1999, the Institute of English Studies in 1947, is a national academic institution serving facilitates advanced study and research in all universities and the profession through its English studies for the benefit of the national and national legal research library.

  • HISTORIC LIBRARIES FORUM BULLETIN NO. 27 February 2014
    HISTORIC LIBRARIES FORUM BULLETIN NO. 27 February 2014 November’s annual conference on guarding against the dispersal of collections was a great success, with very positive feedback from attendees. You will find a detailed write-up of it in this Bulletin. The committee has begun the process of deciding on a conference theme for this year, which will be based on feedback we have received, so if you weren’t at the conference and there is a particular workshop or conference topic you are interested in, please do let us know. We have a busy year coming up. A workshop on conservation (specifically, improving communication between conservators and librarians) organised jointly with ARLIS and ICON was held in January, with a write up to follow in the next Bulletin. Several workshops are in the planning process at the moment, including rare books cataloguing, identifying prints and conservation. Keep an eye out for emails from the HLF to find out when booking opens as our workshops tend to be fully booked very quickly. As ever, libraries in danger have been in the news recently. We had a letter published in the Church Times and wrote to the Bible Society to protest about the proposed sale of the Codex Zacynthius, a 6th or 7th century Bible manuscript. Cambridge University Library needs to raise the £1.1 million necessary to purchase it by the end of February 2014, otherwise there is a very real risk that it could leave the country and/or end up in private ownership. Further details of the campaign are available on their website: http://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/cambridge-university-library-bids-to-purchase-early- gospel-manuscript Earlier in January we were very concerned to learn of the proposed closure of the British Library Preservation Advice Centre (BLPAC), which I’m sure many HLF members have found an invaluable source of help and advice.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by SAS-SPACE 1 The Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble, Institute of Historical Research Thesis submitted for Degree of Master of Philosophy, 2018 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Acknowledgements 5 Abbreviations 7 Acronyms 8 Chapters 9 Conclusion 136 Bibliography 155 3 Abstract The histiography on Princess Mary is conspicuous by its absence. No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote.

  • The Use of an Academic Library's Discovery Layer
    INSTG099 MA Dissertation The use of an academic library’s discovery layer: an ethnographic approach Elizabeth Atkinson September 2013 Word count: 14,776 Supervised by Anne Welsh Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MA in Library and Information Studies, Department of Information Studies, University College London.

Wherever published, unpublished, printed, electronic or other information sources have been used as a contribution or component of this work, these are explicitly, clearly and individually acknowledged by appropriate use of quotation marks, citations, references and statements in the text.

INSTG099 Dissertation Elizabeth Atkinson ii Abstract For several years commentators have asserted that libraries’ traditional OPACs (Online Public Access Catalogues) are failing to meet user expectations. In recent years many academic libraries have implemented discovery layers, systems designed to address the issues of traditional OPACs by allowing e-resources which are not in the library’s catalogue to be searched alongside records in the library’s catalogue and offering a range of features, such as a simple ‘Google-like’ search box, faceted browsing, a “Did you mean…?” feature, suggested alternative searches, user contributions and a more visually appealing interface.

FOREWORD Researchers and students all over the world benefit from the collections held by RLUK member libraries. These collections have grown over centuries: through purchases and donations, strategic subject building and happy accident, through collaboration and serendipity, all supported by a robust legal deposit system. We have exceptional individual collections, but we are becoming increasingly interested in the total collection within the UK. We are asking strategic questions about the preservation and storage of print books, the best use of library space, the range and effectiveness of digital surrogacy, and the nature of collecting. Our colleagues at OCLC have harnessed the unique possibilities offered by WorldCat to provide us with a window into what they have coined the “collective collection” across RLUK institutions.
