The document discusses two collections of digitized British periodicals from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Collection I contains 160 periodicals dealing with literature, philosophy, history, science, and the arts published between 1681-1937. Collection II contains 340 additional periodicals published between 1681-1914 focusing on English literary periodicals. Together they provide over 5 million pages of searchable full text and images from periodicals that originally published many landmark works. The collections allow new ways of understanding life and thought during those time periods by restoring the original context of articles and works.
George Sarton and Isis – a paradigm of bibliography in history of scienceBirute Railiene
Paper discuses a bibliographical experience of over one hundred years advocated by a first journal of history of science – Isis. The journal was established by a Belgian mathematician and a pioneer of history of science George Sarton (1884–1956), in Belgium, in 1913. The first volume of a journal already held a substantial bibliographical material – a critical bibliography on history of science, including an introduction and address to the world community of historians of science. G. Sarton introduced idea of compiling a bibliography of science as an urgent and important task, which does not tent to be complete in the first volume, but hopes to introduce the most important information from the whole world. G. Sarton acknowledges his intention to sift scientific material from “amussette”, though the latter material is also allowed to a bibliography to give it some “spirit”. Classification was the second main task G. Sarton seeks for the bibliographical material. The classification system he created was partly influenced by ideas of Augustus Comte (1798–1857) and Wilhelm Ostwald (1853–1932) and was only slightly altered during last decades. Bibliographical material was taking over a space of scientific journals, so it was decided to publish an additional volume Isis Current Bibliography, (IsisCB) completely dedicated to a history of science bibliography. The editorial board took over G. Sarton‘s idea of to “store all records, century by century”, and issued several cumulative indexes for bibliographical material of 1913–1965 (90 volumes) and 1965–1975 (91–100 volumes) . In the beginning of 21st ct. Isis CB was transferred to a platform with an open access to the whole bibliographical data. The paper argues scientometrical and prosopographical issues of the Isis CB and a heritage of history of science in a Digital form.

Finding Character in Our Collections: Partnering with Students to Learn More about What We Own
Karla Aleman, Dakoda Trenary, & Carter Kozar
Morehead State University
Central to a library's mission is the development and management of its collections, but learning a collection's strengths and weaknesses can be a difficult and time consuming task. In order to better connect patrons to the Library's resources and make more informed financial decisions, one librarian at Morehead State University began an in-depth, item-level collection assessment of the Library's literature and language collections. She did not do it alone. Partnering with the University's Honors Program, this librarian worked with two undergraduate students to collect data and spot trends. The added perspective provided by the students has proven to be instrumental in discovering the collections' hidden virtues. Join this librarian and her two partners for an exploration of their surprising discoveries, an overview of the project design, and tips for setting up a similar project at your library.

2. The Value of British Periodicals
• Many landmark texts were originally presented to the
reading public in serial form in the periodicals
contained in Collection I and Collection II, such as
– De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium-Eater
– Carlyle's Sartor Resartus
– Cobbett's Rural Rides
– Bagehot's The English Constitution
– Gaskell's North and South
• Continuing in the tradition of Periodicals Archive Online
and American Periodicals Series, the two British
Periodicals collections offer researchers and students
alike a new way of restoring the original contexts of
such works, and understanding life and thought in the
eighteenth, nineteenth and early twentieth centuries

23. What does the academic community think of
our grayscale images in British Periodicals?
“This has a very „authentic‟ feel, I can almost smell the
paper”
Glyn Purseglove, Dept of English, University of Wales, Swansea
“Without the grayscale scans, you are limiting the potential
uses of the resource quite considerably.”
Dr Ian Gadd, School of English, Bath Spa University
“Grayscale is nicer to look at than equivalent-res black and
white, and gives a better "feel" of what you're working
with … The image, frankly, looks nicer in grayscale”
Dr Matthew Steggle, Senior Lecturer in English, Sheffield Hallam University
