Accessing Our Humanities Collections: a subject guide for researchers
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new JISC publication 'Accessing Our Humanities Collections: a subject
guide for researchers' is now freely available to UK researchers,
librarians, support staff and learners within the humanities and social
sciences.
The subject index will help identify special collections and archives of
particular relevance to your subject area. The publication is FREE and
contains helpful descriptions of collections and archives available
throughout the UK higher education sector, as well as local contact details
should you require further information. Those collections included are
specially recognised for their rich research value. All received funding via
the joint funding councils as part of the Follett Specialised Research
Collections in the Humanities initiative. The initiative is now complete and
as a result of the funding, access to the collections has now been
significantly enhanced.
To request your free copy please visit http://www.humbul.ac.uk/nff/
Copies will be distributed on a first come, first served basis to members of
higher and further education institutions within the UK.
An online version will available shortly.
The guide is being distributed by Humbul, the Humanities Hub of the Resource
Discovery Network on behalf of the DNER office <http://www.humbul.ac.uk/>.
