After selecting an architecture, the library will work with technical experts from NASA and other labs to develop a working prototype, Campbell said.

Extractions: Humanism ... Credits The great intellectual movement of Renaissance Italy was humanism. The humanists believed that the Greek and Latin classics contained both all the lessons one needed to lead a moral and effective life and the best models for a powerful Latin style. They developed a new, rigorous kind of classical scholarship, with which they corrected and tried to understand the works of the Greeks and Romans, which seemed so vital to them. Costanzo Felici, Historia de coniuratione Catilinae (History of the Catilinarian Conspiracy) Fifteenth century Although humanists had thronged the papal court since the beginning of the century, Pius II was the first real humanist to sit in the chair of Peter. Born in Siena as Enea Silvio Piccolomini, he acquired a reputation as a diplomat, belletrist, and womanizer, and was crowned poet laureate by the Emperor Frederick in 1442. After serving the emperor and the anti-Roman Council of Basel, Piccolomini joined the Roman camp in 1446. He became a cardinal in 1456 and in 1458 was elected pope. As pope, the only work of scholarship he was able to continue was his "Commentaries," a remarkably frank autobiography in which he put his passions and prejudices on full view. In the passage shown here, Pius expresses his bitter contempt for the French, who had been unwilling to join his crusade against the Great Turk.

The Application Of Form Data To Works Of Fiction: Discussion Paper This paper reviews the application of form and genre headings from the Library of Congress Subject Headings to works of fiction.

Extractions: 1. Introduction This paper reviews the application of form and genre headings from the Library of Congress Subject Headings to works of fiction. The purpose of this study is to highlight the issues arising from the planned implementation of the new 655 field and $v subfield for form data on the LCSH file in the specific context of one major literary genre. There are two reasons for choosing fiction as an ideal case study for looking at implementation issues for literature:- a) Use of the 655 field for individual works of fiction is already well-established through the OCLC/LC Fiction Project b) At the British Library we have gained some experience of using the 655 field through our application of the Guidelines on Subject Access to Works of Fiction, Drama, etc . used by the OCLC/LC project. This experience has generated a number of unresolved questions concerning the relationship between LCSH and GSAFD which are the stimulus for writing this paper.
