Emerald Journal Celebrates Maurice B. Line
Emerald Group Publishing, Ltd. is making its August 2005 issue of Interlending and Document Supply available for free downloading until the end of the month. It is a special issue that celebrates the contributions to the field of librarianship by Maurice B. Line, former Director General of the British Library and a previous editor of the magazine. Line started in 1950 as a trainee at the Bodlean Library in Oxford, UK. He also taught at both Sheffield University’s Department of Information Science and Loughborough University’s Department of Information and Library Studies. He’s still interested in librarianship — I’ve seen him at the Online Information conference in London in recent years. The issue features articles by Line as well as by others in the field. Guest editors are Mike McGrath and Stella Pilling.
