Announcement of New Web Based OPAC From the British Library
The British Library is to launch its new OPAC 97 service at Internet
World, Olympia, 20-22 May. This service will provide free access via
the World Wide Web to seven catalogues containing more than 8.5
million records covering the major collections of the British Library
both in London and Boston Spa. OPAC 97 will replace the Network OPAC
that has been on trial as an experimental service since 1994, and
information regarding the formal closure of the trial will be made
available in due course. Anyone with internet access and a Web
browser will be able to access OPAC 97 without the need for any
additional software or system setup.
Further details will be made available as soon as possible.

The Music Department at Royal Holloway is pleased to announce new
postgraduate studentships in the following areas:
Historical Musicology (early music/19th-century topics)
Theory and Analysis (early music/19th-century topics)
Performance Studies
Composition
The studentships are intended to capitalise on the Music Department's
research strengths in these fields, which contributed to our rating of 5*
in the recent Research Assessment Exercise. They will cover tuition fees
at the Home/EU rate for three years' full-time or up to six years'
part-time study, and will be available to postgraduates entering the
Department to start work for the MPhil or PhD degree during the academic
year 1997-98.
THOMAS HOLLOWAY RESEARCH STUDENTSHIPS
Royal Holloway, University of London
In addition, The Music Department at Royal Holloway is pleased to announce
a new fully-funded postgraduate Thomas Holloway Research studentship,
which will also cover tuition fees at the HEU rate for three years'
full-time study, and will also provide a maintenance grant of 6000 pounds
per annum. It will be available to postgraduates with outstanding
research potential entering the Department to start work for the PhD
degree during the academic year 1997-98.
There is no separate application form, but candidates for studentships
should have applied for the MPhil or PhD course (candidates for the Thomas
Holloway Studentship should have applied for the PhD programme) by
Wednesday 14 May 1997, stating that they wish to be considered for a
studentship. They must also formally accept a place on the relevant
course by Wednesday 9 July 1997. (Please note that for non-studentship
candidates there is no deadline for applications to the MMus in Advanced
Musical Studies or to any other of our postgraduate courses.)
Further details about the Music Department, how to apply for the MMus,
MPhil or PhD, about the fees-only studentships for MPhil or PhD students
that we also offer, and about application procedures for postgraduate
study, please contact Dr John Rink, Director of Graduate Study, Music
