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.

Herbarium News
Herbarium News University of Reading Herbarium Newsletter Issue No. 45, December 2008. ISSN 0953-0080 URL: www.herbarium.reading.ac.uk INTRODUCTION Welcome to another Christmas Herbarium News. As with every edition we have much to report! During the last year a number of important things have happened, not least the refurbishment of two of our taxonomy laboratories (more details below). We have also changed the name of our building from ‘Plant Science Laboratories’ to ‘The Harborne Building’ to commemorate Jeffrey Harborne, FRS, our late lamented phytochemist. This is in line with University policy to name buildings after people, and the new biomolecular sciences building (behind Chemistry) for our medical and pharmacy researchers will be called the Hopkins Building, after the late Professor Harold Hopkins, sometime Professor in Physics here who developed fibre optics and the endoscope. The Herbarium has been especially busy having now completed the incorporation of the Herbarium from the University of Southampton, again see below. HERBARIUM REVIEW AND STRATEGY Our School of Biological Sciences recently undertook a review of the Herbarium, along with the Cole Museum of Zoology and a number of other issues. Ours was led by Professor Philip John with Professor Martin Bell (Archaeology), Kate Arnold-Foster (Head of the University’s Museums and Special Collections Service and Dr Karen Henderson (Head of Technical Services, Biological Sciences). They were very positive and have recommended that a Herbarium Strategy be drawn up for the next five years, currently in progress. Senate also positively noted the Herbarium’s growing level of engagement with the University and the likely increase in the commercial value of this resource.

Oxford Brookes University Access and Participation Plan
Oxford Brookes University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 1. Assessment of performance Unless stated otherwise, the analyses in this report draw on data from UK-domiciled, undergraduate students studying full-time or sandwich courses at Oxford Brookes University and at our Associate College Partnerships. Where possible we have referenced national higher education data sources supplemented with internal data. Unless otherwise stated the data sources by life cycle stage are as follows: ● Applicant data are from UCAS end of cycle reports, from UCAS Undergraduate reports by sex, area background, and ethnic group, or from purchased UCAS EXACT data. ● Entrant, Continuation, Attainment and Progression data are from the OfS Access and Participation data resources. ● National data, including that from HESA, UCAS and TEF metrics, were used for sector benchmarks. ● Regional population data is derived from the Local Authority. Additional analysis has been undertaken on the relative performance of Oxford Brookes students registered through the University’s Associate College Partnerships. This analysis has shown some gaps in performance against the data for the average of ACPs, which has led to the initiation of discussions with college partners to pinpoint where gaps are significant and to work with partners to better understand the data and to develop action plans to address differences in access, success and progression. Summary of performance Underrepresented Access Success - Continuation Success - Attainment Progression group

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.
