CDS - Upgrades for the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database software
Recent updates to the ICSD-WWW software have been implemented which brings the CDS implementation fully in line with the ILL master server at Grenoble.
These updates bring various improvements. In particular a number of users of Internet Explorer may have previously experienced difficulties with the Jmol display where thermal ellipsoids were not accessible and various tick boxes were not displayed. These problems have now been fixed.

History of the Book seminar - John Murray's Travel Books
Barbara Schaff (University of Goettingen)
Friday March 27 (1-2pm)
5th Floor seminar room,
Edinburgh University Library
In the course of the nineteenth century, the Murray Handbooks were embraced by the British middle classes as exemplary manuals model for tourists, thereby helping to normalise a certain kind of cultured and educated travel practice. Amongst other things, the seminar on Friday will discuss John Murray's invention of the new format of the tourist guidebook and its long lasting cultural relevance. It will also address Murray's competition with Baedeker.
Barbara Schaff is Professor of English Literature and Cultural Studies at Göttingen University. In 2006-07 she held a Caledonian Research Fellowship from the Royal Society of Edinburgh at the Centre for the History of the Book for her research on the John Murray Handbooks.
