I have re-designed the library website in the new university style, see http://www.zoo.cam.ac.uk/library/index.html.
I have updated and re-organised existing content, and added new content, in particular the "Undergraduate resources" and "Special Collections" pages. I have included photos wherever I can, and hopefully the home page is much more inviting and informative, especially with the "Library news" links to this blog. "Quick links" will take you directly to useful websites. I will be developing the website further to include more new content in future. Your comments are most welcome!

Mobile phone rule change
The Library Committee has approved an amendment to the rule that mobile phones should be switched off before entering the library.
The rule now reads:
“Readers may bring a mobile telephone into the library provided it is set to silent mode. However, mobile telephone conversations are NOT permitted. To prevent disturbance to other readers, calls must be answered outside of the library. Readers should not run to the library exit or speak on the telephone until they are outside. Text messaging is allowed.”
Library staff will be monitoring this amendment to the rule closely and may request that the Library Committee reviews it if they find that it has caused more disturbance to readers than before.
Thank you for your cooperation in helping us to keep the library a desirable place to work in.

New ejournal in JSTOR
DaedalusDædalus was founded in 1955 as the Journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. It continues the Academy's Proceedings, which ceased publication with Volume 85. Dædalus draws on the intellectual capacity of the American Academy, whose Fellows are among the nation's most prominent thinkers in the arts, sciences, and humanities, as well as the full range of professions and public life. Each issue addresses a theme with original authoritative essays. Cambridge users previously only had access to this ejournal from 1988 onwards.
Vol. 1 (May, 1846/1848) – Vol. 85, No. 4 (May, 1958) of Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences [1846-1958] are available from http://www.jstor.org/action/showPublication?journalCode=procameracadarts
Vol. 86, No. 1 (May, 1955) – Vol. 131, No. 4 (Fall, 2002) of Dædalus are available from http://www.jstor.org/action/showPublication?journalCode=daedalus
JSTOR includes archives of over one thousand leading academic journals across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, as well as select monographs and other materials. Access to the JSTOR archive at http://www.jstor.org/ is available on-campus without passwords and off-campus via Raven passwords.
Making Visible Embryos
A virtual exhibition has been created by staff at the University's Department of History and Philosophy of Science, Making Visible Embryos at http://www.hps.cam.ac.uk/visibleembryos/ It features images taken from some of our rare books.
Images of human embryos
Images of human embryos are everywhere. We see them in newspapers, clinics, classrooms, laboratories, family albums and on the internet. Debates about abortion, assisted conception, cloning and Darwinism have sometimes made these images hugely controversial, but they are also routine. We tend to take them for granted today. Yet 250 years ago human development was still nowhere to be seen.
Developing embryos were first drawn in the eighteenth-century Enlightenment. Modern medicine and biology exploited technical innovations as pictures and models communicated new attitudes to childbirth, evolution and reproduction. In the twentieth century they became the dominant representations of pregnancy and prominent symbols of hope and fear. Wherever we stand in today’s debates, it should enrich and may challenge our understandings to explore how these icons have been made.
Exhibition
Eight sections are arranged in roughly chronological order. Each focuses on an era and an issue. By contextualizing images that have become iconic or were especially widely distributed in their own time, the exhibition aims to illuminate key questions and concerns. By depicting imaging technologies and people engaged in image production, it emphasizes the work of making visible embryos.
Each page consists of a main section and a ‘box’ on the right, highlighting an important issue, person or object. Click on a thumbnail for a larger image and the full caption. The ‘Resources’ buttons offer suggestions for exploring further.

University wide access to agcensus (hosted by EDINA)
The Agricultural Census is conducted in June each year by the government departments dealing with Agriculture and Rural Affairs for Scotland, England, and Wales (i.e. The Scottish Government: Agriculture, DEFRA and the Welsh Assembly Government Department for Environment, Planning and Countryside ). Each farmer declares the agricultural activity on the land via a postal questionnaire. The respective government departments collect the 150 items of data and publish information relating to farm holdings for recognised geographies.
The Edinburgh University Data Library has developed algorithms which convert the data for recognised geographies, obtained from the government departments, into grid square estimates. The key to transforming the raw data into grid square data is the definition of each geography (e.g. parish, in the case of Scotland) in terms of 1km squares. Agricultural Census items are distributed over those 1km grid squares with the land use category suitable for the census item in question. The categories are defined by the Landuse Framework, a 7-fold land-use classification of the same 1km grid squares (the seven land-use categories are agricultural land, upland, woodland, restricted agriculture - natural, restricted agriculture - artificial, urban, and inland water). Agricultural Census grid square estimates can be used:

- to increase the value of other environmental data.
- to assess how agricultural activity might affect a related proposal or project.
- to help maximise market potential.
- Data can be supplied in value added formats; for example, by including the application of yield factors to the data, (e.g. kilograms per hectare), to calculate market potential for a variety of agricultural related activities.
Quick start guides, reference guides, and demo screen cams are available for the resource.

Rare book on display in the library
The rare book on display from our special collections is: Tortoises, terrapins, and turtles drawn from life, by James de Carle Sowerby and Edward Lear. London, Paris and Frankfort: Henry Sotheran, Joseph Baer & Co.; 1872. Balfour Library shelf mark: qWN (1)The book is open at: Plate 27 Emys Spinosa. Bell. (Young). This plate contains two amazingly fine, detailed lithographs of a young spiny turtle from the Emydidae family of turtles. The turtle has been given some real character in its depiction. Emydidae bask on land but enter slow-moving water to feed, and are mainly carnivorous. Usually there is no reduction of the shell, and the limbs are flattened with webbed, clawed toes. There are about 80 species, distributed widely in temperate zones, except southern Africa and Australia.
The plates in this book were lithographed by Edward Lear (1812-1888), a landscape painter and writer now chiefly remembered for his nonsense verse. He was the most accomplished lithographer of his time and contributed illustrations to many natural history volumes.
This book is being displayed in association with the Museum of Zoology’s event 'The Quangle Wangle’s Hat', a free, artist-led drawing activity inspired by the words and pictures of Edward Lear, on Tuesday 28th October. The event has been organised as part of the Campaign for Drawing’s Big Draw 2008, see http://www.thebigdraw.org.uk/.
