  • 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.

  • 1 the Public Life of a Twentieth Century Princess Princess Mary Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood Wendy Marion Tebble
    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.

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.
