During the WLIC in Oslo the Section had a very successful programme on Perspectives on supply of electronic documents. The first of the three papers that were presented there you will find in this issue of our newsletter while the remaining two will be published in the following issue. In his paper on SUBITO and German developments in copyright law Dr. Uwe Rosemann puts focus on what is happening not only in Germany but in many other countries as well if publishers and associates succeed in having their own way. The German court will have to decide if – as claimed by the publishers – interlibrary loan activities not only happening between German and foreign libraries but between libraries within Germany as well are illegal.

    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.

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.

    Consortium of European Research Libraries Newsletter 6 December 2002 http://www.cerl.org/ ISSN 1680-4546 (appears twice a year) New files on the Hand Press Book (HPB) database Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek, Göttingen This file, the ‘GBV-Holdings of the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen’, currently numbers 15,317 records and covers the period from the beginning of printing to the year 1830. The file is an extract from the Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund (GBV) Union Catalogue, and represents the complete Göttingen holdings of one-volume works from this era. The file does not contain records of maps, microforms, online resources or music. Göttingen University Library was founded in 1734 as a practical working library for the new university. Its founding collections are the library of the Göttingen Grammar School (with books mainly on history, classical philology and theology), the library of Joachim Hinrich von Bülow (1650-1724; a universal library with an emphasis on historical, political and legal literature), and duplicates from the Royal Library in Hanover. Several decades later it was enhanced by the collection of Friedrich Armand von Uffenbach (1687-1769), whose books on mathematics, engineering, topography and history of art came to the library in 1770. Through purchasing and the support of the university’s founder and curator, Minister and Privy Councillor Gerlach Adolph Freiherr von Münchhausen (1688-1770), the Library steadily increased its holdings. Leading scholars, such as Johann Matthias Genser (1691-17651), and for almost fifty years, Christian Gottlieb Heyne (1763-1812), were in charge of the Library Christian Gottlieb Heyne and did much to improve its collections.
