In addition to the details I send out occasionally, there's now a regularly-updated list of recently-published books on medieval and renaissance studies, with links through to Blackwell's (I think) online at http://www.just-published.co.uk/index.php?list=178. The more technically-savvy of you can access an RSS feed relating to this list at http://www.my-rss.co.uk/feed178.xml, or you can subscribe to it by e-mail at http://www.just-published.co.uk/index.php?list=178#notify. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following, from the DESIGN-HISTORY list, may be of interest: Subject: Francisco d'Hollanda translation Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 11:05:37 +0100 From: Eduardo Corte Real <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Dear Colleagues, My name is Eduardo Corte-Real, I'm currently Scientific Board President of IADE's School of Design.

Retrieval in the VKK is now more comfortable thanks to a newly introduced basic search (\'All fields\'). Furthermore, the VKK has been enriched by two important target systems: the internationally renowned libraries of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, and of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), London. The RIBA library provides among others 333.000 records for articles from from periodicals. The VKK gives now access to more than 4,1 million bibliographical records.
