| Following the Follett Review of
Academic Libraries (1993) and the Joint Funding Council's Initiative for
Specialist Research Collections in the Humanities, Aberdeen
University's Department of Special Collections and Archives received funding to undertake: |
- the retroconversion of
catalogue records relating to older printed materials (e.g. Taylor Psalmody
Collection, Phillips Pharmacology Collection). Records are currently being added
to the Library OPAC;
|
- the preparation of a
networkable database of archive collections descriptive lists, allowing
full-text searching. Access to the majority of these lists is now available;
|
- a rolling programme to digitise
sections of the Directorate's written, printed and visual resources.
