In the graphic computing laboratory a clu ter of VAX workstations provides facilities for running highly interactive graphical programs such as CAD/CAM packages.

At Ken ington, there is a network of 12 imbus PC-186s ; it may be used for word processing, spreadshccts and the production of charts and diagrams.

This year two new Computing Centre rooms have been opened at the Strand;

They are capable of housing 35 and 55 microcomputer respecti ely, hi h in pan represents a replacement for the former Computing Centre accommodauon in room 16A, but which also ill make it po ible, when finance permit., to 10 rease the pro . ion of micr omputer by a ut 40-50 machine.

The network of 40 IB -compatible Resear h a hine PC-386 with GA colour di play, which was formerly in 16A, has been moved to room 22DB. The oftware available on the network include icrosoft Word and Excel and the Tektronix terminal emulator EMU-TEK 42 +, together with some more specialised products of relevance to students Laking management and busine studies coursc .

In room 22DA, there is a new network of 16 Macintosh SE/30s. It is intended that they be used for the more routine Macintosh applications, such as the preparation of reports and theses, and hence there is a less exten ive range of software available (Micro oft Word, MacDraw II, and CricketGraph) than in the other Macinto h room (24AF).

It is hoped that it will be possible to increase the provi ion of microcomputers at Kensington and Manresa Road during the course of the coming academic year.

At Kensington, a room in the Atkins Building has been identified as suitable for conversion to Computing Centre requirements, and a sum of money has been earmarked for equipping it. Discu sions with the departments of Pharmacy and Pharmacology are underway with a view to ajoint initiative with the Centre to upgrade and add to the existing microcomputer facilities at Manresa Road. ews of the progress of both these projects will be given in Comment.

The Library's stock of over 800,000 volumes is divided between the College campuses according to subject. Broadly speaking, Life Sciences material is housed at Kensington, Education and Nursing Studies at Chelsea (552 King's Road), Pharmacy, Pharmacology and History and Philosophy of Science at Chelsea (Manresa Road) and the remaining subjects at the Strand.

To get a Library ticket, members of staff should apply la the library at the campu at which they are based (Strand Level 1 or the Old Library in the case of Strand staff) with a photograph and, if they are not listed in the calendar or telephone directory, a note of introduction from the Department. Once registered, any member of College may use all sections of the Library.

With the exception of journals and reference books, most of the bookstock may be borrowed. Multiple copies of textbooks in heavy demand are kept, and these are normally restricted la short loan periods to ensure that as many students as possible have aeces la them.

Every attempt is made to keep the booktock up to date and relevant to the current needs of teaching and research within the College. The Acquisitions Department (S2137) are delighted to receive recommendations for addition to stock, and should be most grateful if academic staff could provide copies of reading lists well in advance of their distribution to students.

The Library was one of the fIrst in the University of London to install a UBERTAS automated system, providing College-wide access to its main catalogue.

Using one of the Library's dedicated terminals, or any terminal connected to the College's computing network, readers may check the availability of items in any section of the Library. To access the catalogue from a terminal outside the Library, type CALL LffiRARY at the PAD or EPAD prompt and log in with the user name LIBRARY. Information sheets explaining how best to use UBERTAS and describing many other aspects of the Library's services are available at all issue desks.

Readers are encouraged to ask Library staff for assistance at any time, and to make suggestions, either in person or through the various users' committees, Faculty Library Committees and through representatives elected to Library Committee, as to how the Library could improve its services.

The College Archives, Liddell Hart Centre for ilitary Archives and the Library Manuscripts are administered jointly by the College Archivi t and her taff. Consultation of all three collections is by prior appointment in the Archives reading room.

College Archives The College Archives house the records of King's College London which are of historical interest and/or continuing administrative value. The records chronicle the sometimes stonny history of the College from its foundations to the present day and together with the archives of Chelsea and Queen Elizabeth Colleges and their predecessor bodies, King's College of Household and Social Science and the South Western and Chelsea Polytechnics, constitute an invaluable source for educational, scientific and social historians.

Among the most significant records held are the minute books of the governing bodies and major committees of all three Colleges; an unbroken series of letters received by the Principal and Secretary of King's College during the 19th century; 20th century policy files and a substantial series of financial records. The membership of the College, past and present, is reflected in a regularly updated set of student records for the three Colleges from their respective foundations and a useful series of modem personnel files.

These are supplemented by the archives of a number of faculties and departments and collections of private and research papers presented or left to the College by members of staff or fonner students.

Much useful printed material is also held, including calendars, prospectuses and College magazines, and an ever growing collection of prints, engravings and photographs provides a useful pictorial record. Significant material relating to King's College Hospital, Belgrave Children's Hospital, King's College School and the Strand School is also included. A very important collection, is the archive for The League for Democracy in Greece and its successor organisation, The Friends of Democracy in Greece which fonns an invaluable source for the history of Greece after World War n.

Advice on the use of the material can

always be obtained from the staff although it is advisable to make an appointment fu l. Conditions of a cess are set out in the leaflet otesfor Readers. obtainable from the reading room. Some classes of records, chiefly student and taff files are closed for an extended period of years to protect the priva yof named individuals. Staff of the Archives will always be pleased to be con ulted about the disposition of records including photographs and tapes, and will provide guidance about the establishment of filing systems, the selection of materials suitable for preservation in the Archives and, where nece sary, the di posal of confidential waste paper. Two guidance leaflets, How to Deposit Records in the Archives and How To Get Them Back and Faculty and Departmental Checklist. may be obtained from the Archives Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives The Centre holds the private papers of over 350 senior defence personnel who held office in this century and new collections are accruing at the raLe of 3040 a year. Individual collections range in size from a single file to the 1,000 boxes of Sir Basil Liddell Hart's papers and may include diaries, personal correspondence, copies of official papers, unpublished memoirs, photographs and press cULtings.

Also available is a growing collection of microfilms of primarily American official documents relating to defence.

The scope of the holdings is vasL, from high level defence policy and strategic planning as, for example, in the papers of FM Viscount Alanbrooke and General Lord Ismay down to the command of individual units in the field. The Boer War is strongly represenLed and thereafter almost every major campaign in which British troops were involved falls within the collection's parameters, up to and including the Cyprus crisis in the 1960s.

Many significant collections reflccl the revolution in weapon technology this century and the re-evaluation of tactics and strategy which necessarily followed on from the invention of the tank and the developmenL of air power. In the postwar world debate is centred on the nuclear issue and in the papers of AVM SWB Menaul the clash of conflicting theories

and up urge of public altention can be explored.

The full holding of the Centre are described in a Consolidated List of Accessions. 1986, and a Supplement, 19 (a ailable from the Centre at ÂŁ3.50 and ÂŁ1.50 respectively). A leaflet, Informationfor Readers. outline conditions of access.

Work in preparation in the Centre includes a major guide to the locations and coment of the papers of senior defence personnel who served this century and the compilation of a nuclear history database.

Library Manuscripts Collection Staff of the Centre also administer the Library Manuscripts Collection comprising research material gathered by scholars connected with the College and embracing such disparate subjects as Portuguese literature and Gennan jurisprudence. The collection is of literary, historical and scientific interest and is de cribed in Manuscripts and Private Papers: A Select Guide, 1982, available from the Cenlre.

Two valuable subsequent additions are the archives of Adam International Review and Modern Poetry in Translation which together fonn an important source for the study of European literature and cultural history.
