+ | ==== June 2009 ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Koninklijke Bibliotheek, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The prestigious STCN project has been completed after 27 years. The largest and longest-running project in the history of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek is virtually complete. The Short-Title Catalogue Netherlands (STCN), which will be completed at the end of June 2009, gives an overview of all books printed in the Netherlands between 1540 and 1801 and of those published abroad in Dutch. This milestone marks the completion of the National Bibliography from the beginning of the printing age up to the present day. Everyone will be able to gain access to it through the website [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The STCN was compiled from the collections of almost 25 libraries and | ||
+ | archives in the Netherlands and abroad. Among these were the Koninklijke | ||
+ | Bibliotheek (KB) and the university libraries of Amsterdam, Leiden, Utrecht, | ||
+ | the Free University, Groningen and Nijmegen, as well as the British Library, | ||
+ | the provincial libraries of Friesland and Zeeland, the municipal libraries | ||
+ | of Haarlem, Rotterdam and Deventer and the collections of the Netherlands | ||
+ | Music Institute and the Meermanno Museum. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In addition to numerous scientific publications, | ||
+ | many books for 'the man in the street', | ||
+ | pamphlets and almanacs. Four different bibliographies had already been | ||
+ | compiled for the periods before 1540 and after 1800, but the publications | ||
+ | from the period 1540-1800 have now been brought together in one database for | ||
+ | the first time. More than 200,000 different titles came onto the market | ||
+ | during this flourishing period of Dutch books. Around 500,000 copies are | ||
+ | listed in the STCN. The five different bibliographies will be accessible | ||
+ | via one portal within two years. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The STCN is pre-eminently suitable as a scholarly research instrument. The | ||
+ | database provides several more search functions than an ordinary library | ||
+ | catalogue. The user can search for author' | ||
+ | as year, place of publication, | ||
+ | even illustrations, | ||
+ | be the starting point for large-scale digitisation projects of the KB and | ||
+ | other libraries. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Symposium\\ | ||
+ | The completion of the STCN will be celebrated with a festive symposium in | ||
+ | the Koninklijke Bibliotheek on 25 June, where the new STCN website will be | ||
+ | launched. Also, the book Boekenwijsheid will be presented, with | ||
+ | contributions of 30 scholars of repute (including Dr. L. Kooijmans, Prof. V. | ||
+ | Icke and Dr. A.H.G. Rinnooy Kan). | ||
