THE VERSET AND FABORDÃO GENRES IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC MANUSCRIPT 242 FROM THE COIMBRA UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.

Este artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa exaustiva que tenho desenvolvido em torno do Manuscrito 242 da Biblioteca da Universidade de Coimbra (P-Cug MM 242). Este valioso manuscrito do século XVIdestaca-se pela importância crucial para o estudo da música instrumental em Portugal, no Renascimento tardio e nas primeiras décadas do século XVII. Neste manuscrito estão reproduzidos alguns dosprimeiros exemplos de tento e fantasia, como o atestam as obras para tecla de António Carrreira (c.1530c. 1594). Para além de um grande número de cópias de motetes, andamentos de Missa, canções emadrigais escritos por diversos compositores europeus de meados do século XVI, identificados einventariados por Owen Rees, este manuscrito inclui também diversas peças instrumentais de autoriadesconhecida, que ainda não receberam a atenção que merecem. Deste conjunto, seleccionei dois grupos de obras que reúnem pequenas peças instrumentais, as quais irei aprofundar neste artigo. O primeirogrupo, que representa o objecto central deste estudo, é constituído por um conjunto de obras para teclacom melodias em cantochão que proponho incluir nos géneros verso e/ou fabordão para órgão. Pretendodiscutir estas obras a partir das suas características formais, estilísticas e performativas, assim como a suainclusão nas práticas de alternatim instrumental no Mosteiro de Santa Cruz de Coimbra durante esse período.

When the library is located in prime real estate: a case study on the loss of space from the Duke University Medical Center Library and Archives.

The Duke University Medical Center Library and Archives is located in the heart of the Duke Medicine campus, surrounded by Duke Hospital, ambulatory clinics, and numerous research facilities. Its location is considered prime real estate, given its adjacency to patient care, research, and educational activities. In 2005, the Duke University Library Space Planning Committee had recommended creating a learning center in the library that would support a variety of educational activities. However, the health system needed to convert the library's top floor into office space to make way for expansion of the hospital and cancer center. The library had only five months to plan the storage and consolidation of its journal and book collections, while working with the facilities design office and architect on the replacement of key user spaces on the top floor. Library staff worked together to develop plans for storing, weeding, and consolidating the collections and provided input into renovation plans for users spaces on its mezzanine level. The library lost 15,238 square feet (29%) of its net assignable square footage and a total of 16,897 (30%) gross square feet. This included 50% of the total space allotted to collections and over 15% of user spaces. The top-floor space now houses offices for Duke Medicine oncology faculty and staff. By storing a large portion of its collection off-site, the library was able to remove more stacks on the remaining stack level and convert them to user spaces, a long-term goal for the library. Additional space on the mezzanine level had to be converted to replace lost study and conference room spaces. While this project did not match the recommended space plans for the library, it underscored the need for the library to think creatively about the future of its facility and to work toward a more cohesive master plan.

Library support for science research and education at Bucknell University: pulling it all together

Based on the Ricker/Witmer survey on Library Support for Science Research and Education, a brief statistical analysis of the Bucknell University community and library support for science and engineering research and education is provided. The position and responsibilities of Reference Librarian/Coordinator of Science and Engineering Resources in the Ellen Clarke Bertrand Library are detailed. Throughout the article, I describe the motivation and justification for an integrated university library collection, which serves not only the Science and Engineering faculty and students, but the entire Bucknell University community. The issues of finance and budget, public service, and information access and delivery in relation to a central university library are discussed.
