Their attention to detail is providing an enhanced level of discoverability and accessibility\u00a0for this collection, part\u00a0of which was\u00a0formed by\u00a0James Thin,\u00a0the well known Edinburgh bookseller.<\/p>\n<p>Every item catalogued\u00a0is retrieved from the shelf and, where appropriate,\u00a0notes made on its binding, illustrations and provenance, to add to the research record. Volumes are re-shelfmarked as they are catalogued to improve security and findability,\u00a0as previously these items did not have unique shelfmarks.<\/p>\n<p><em>Christine Love-Rodgers, Academic Support Librarian &#8211; Divinity<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>With thanks to Oreste de Tomasso and Patrick Murray, Funk Project Cataloguers<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; One of our Funk Project cataloguers showed me this item The Fullness of Joy by Frances Ridley Havergal (Hymn 3926)\u00a0this morning.
