International Office Trip Report Overview of Trip Oxford, St. Antony’s College, 21.07.2016 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Number Competitor Presence Agent/Alumni assistance Popular Subjects and Levels of Enquiries UG 15 Overall around 20 institutions The event was organised Medicine attended amongst which: by Oxford Study Courses. Biological Sciences University of Bath No alumni/ambassadors International Relations UCL were involved Politics University of Bournemouth Computer Science Imperial College London Chemical Engineering University of York Electronic Engineering University of Nottingham St. Andrews University of Surrey Recommendations and School action list I found the event very well organised (2 rooms, desks allocated on first come, first serve basis, with 2 cohorts of students for 1h each and with 30 min break for lunch) and very well attended. However, the quality of the students wasn’t impressive. I had a significant interest in the Medical school and told them to keep an eye on the website for 2018 entry. Overall there were around 70/80 students. The students were about to do the IB Degree Programme. There were students from Qatar, Oman, France, Ghana and most of them already had an idea what they want to study. Most of them didn’t know where Aston is and were interested in general information about the university. The universities that attracted most interest were University of Bath, UCL and St Andrews. Degrees that I had enquiries about but we don’t offer were Law with Psychology, Dental Medicine. Materials recommended for next time will be: 10 UG prospectuses Course brochures for the above mentioned subjects International Office contact details Hristina Dimova 4480 [email protected] .

Leah Tether and Laura Chuhan Campbell Early Book Collections and Modern Audiences: Harnessing the Identity/ies of Book Collections as Collective Resources This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (includ- ing academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special collections engagement projects, including ones involving more modern collections than the case studies examined here. In November 2018, the Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Durham University kindly funded a workshop to investigate the ways in which contemporary audiences have been, are being, and can become engaged with medieval and early- modern book culture through the provision and distribution of key resources. These resources range from published books to digital artefacts and editions; from replica teaching kits—such as scriptorium suitcases—to physical archives and repositories.1 The aim of the workshop, which was led by one of this article’s two authors (Leah Tether), was to build a picture of best practice to inform the teaching and commu- 1. The authors are grateful to Durham’s Institute for Medieval and Early Modern Studies for fund- ing the workshop, and to the administrators of the Residential Research Library Fellowships (jointly organized by Ushaw College and Durham University) that enabled Leah Tether to spend time in Durham in November 2018.

Introduction Welcome to the University Library Annual Report 2015/16 The Library continues its drive towards excellence in all areas of service and in 2015/16 this was reflected in the scores we achieved in a range of surveys and league tables as well as the positive feedback we have received from our users. In June the University Library was reviewed as part of the Quadrennial Review process and we found it a very positive experience. This review has given us some areas to reflect upon, investigate, develop and implement during the coming year and beyond. In addition the library provision at our London campus has also undergone some significant changes offering an opportunity to provide a more developed service to users in London. None of the achievements outlined would have been possible without the hard work and commitment of Library staff and others outside of the Library.
