medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture And of course I COULD just get up the energy to send my own message - which I will do. But if there is a petition (as there have been, in the past, for (among other things) Old Norse professorships in Göttingen and Oxford) I could distribute it to others. The BL serves an international community, not a local one!

Rosemary Hayes ----- Original Message ----- From: Joanna Bryant <mailto:[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 10:19 PM Subject: [Norton AntiSpam] BL Budget Cuts - Online Petition Dear All With apologies for cross posting. I am sure most of you are aware of the budget cuts the government is proposing to impose on the British Library. According to a press release on the BL website, these cuts may force the library to start charging for users to access the collections (see: http://www.bl.uk/spendingreview.html). If you think, as I do, that this is a really bad idea - please sign the online petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/library/ And do tell your friends to sign it too! According to their website, the BL is actively campaigning against the proposed cuts and Lynne Brindley has asked those who feel strongly about this issue to contact the library and explain "why the British Library is important to you and give us permission to use your letter in our campaign. Please e-mail [log in to unmask] with your name, contact number and message, or write to Lynne Brindley, Chief Executive, The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London NW1 2DB." So if you have five minutes to spare, do send an e-mail or letter too.
