Reader Services Alongside the advances made by our Digital Library and online services, we are also making significant steps towards modernising the systems and technology available to reading room users. One major development in improving the delivery of reader services was the introduction of the online book request system in September 2004. This facility means that users can check availability in advance of their visit and have their materials ready to consult upon arrival. More than 60% of all requests for material consulted in the General Reading Room are now made through the online system. Further improvements planned for 2005-2006 include a self-registration scheme for readers, the introduction of smartcard technology and wireless broadband internet. 6 National Library of Scotland Annual Review 2004-2005 Improving Access Education and Interpretative Exhibitions Services Our task to promote understanding Our continuing mission to widen of the significance of the John Murray access and reach out to communities Archive began in earnest in April outside our traditional audience saw 2004, with the launch of the public significant developments in exhibition, Four O’Clock Friends.

  • By Kathryn Sutherland
    JANE AUSTEN’S DEALINGS WITH JOHN MURRAY AND HIS FIRM by kathryn sutherland Jane Austen had dealings with several publishers, eventually issuing her novels through two: Thomas Egerton and John Murray. For both, Austen may have been their first female novelist. This essay examines Austen-related materials in the John Murray Archive in the National Library of Scotland. It works in two directions: it considers references to Austen in the papers of John Murray II, finding some previously overlooked details; and it uses the example of Austen to draw out some implications of searching amongst the diverse papers of a publishing house for evidence of a relatively unknown (at the time) author. Together, the two approaches argue for the value of archival work in providing a fuller context of analysis. After an overview of Austen’s relations with Egerton and Murray, the essay takes the form of two case studies. The first traces a chance connection in the Murray papers between Austen’s fortunes and those of her Swiss contemporary, Germaine de Stae¨l. The second re-examines Austen’s move from Egerton to Murray, and the part played in this by William Gifford, editor of Murray’s Quarterly Review and his regular reader for the press. Although Murray made his offer for Emma in autumn 1815, letters in the archive show Gifford advising him on one, possibly two, of Austen’s novels a year earlier, in 1814. Together, these studies track early testimony to authorial esteem. The essay also attempts to draw out some methodological implications of archival work, among which are the broad informational parameters we need to set for the recovery of evidence.

  • Preface and Acknowledgments
    Preface and Acknowledgments This is a book about books— books of travel and of exploration that sought to describe, examine, and explain different parts of the world, between the late eighteenth century and the mid- nineteenth century. Our focus is on the works of non- European exploration and travel published by the house of Murray, Britain’s leading publisher of travel accounts and exploration nar- ratives in this period, between their fi rst venture in this respect, the 1773 publication of Sydney Parkinson’s A Journal of a Voyage to the South Seas, in His Majesty’s Ship, the Endeavour, and Leopold McClintock’s The Voyage of the ‘Fox’ in the Arctic Seas (1859), and with the activities of John Murray I (1737– 93), John Murray II (1778– 1843), and John Murray III (1808– 92) in turning authors’ words into print. This book is also about the world of bookmaking. Publishers such as Murray helped create interest in the world’s exploration and in travel writing by offering authors a route to social standing and sci- entifi c status— even, to a degree, literary celebrity. What is also true is that the several John Murrays and their editors, in working with their authors’ often hard- won words, commonly modifi ed the original accounts of explor- ers and travelers, partly for style, partly for content, partly to guard the reputation of author and of the publishing house, and always with an eye to the market. In a period in which European travelers and explorers turned their attention to the world beyond Europe and wrote works of lasting sig- nifi cance about their endeavors, what was printed and published was, of- ten, an altered and mediated version of the events of travel and exploration themselves.

  • 148 Archivaria 77 As the Foregoing Examples Demonstrate, the Books
    148 Archivaria 77 As the foregoing examples demonstrate, the books differ in approach, tone, and purpose, and each has different strengths. Harris aims to provide a com- prehensive, concise, and objective overview of Canadian copyright law. Murray and Trosow do not claim to be comprehensive; instead, they cover selected top- ics, often in some depth, although they fall short on the details of the law. In some cases, Harris provides more detail. Nor do Murray and Trosow claim to be objective – their stance is clearly pro-user, and they are prepared to state their opinions and speculate about the interpretation of certain provisions in new ways that make more copyright-protected material legally available for use. Rapid technological change has completely altered the copyright landscape, and applying copyright in the digital environment continues to be a challenge. Information professionals ignore copyright at their peril. For that reason, both books deserve a place on the Canadian information professional’s bookshelf. One can never have too many copyright resources readily available, and these new editions are a welcome and accessible addition to support our understand- ing of copyright.
