Liburutegitik · From the
Basque Library
by Marcelino Ugalde
The Basque Studies Program and the University of
Nevada Libraries were very excited to see the return of
cataloger Kathryn Etcheverria to the Catalog Department.
Kathryn rejoined her colleagues in April on a part-time
basis with the responsibility of cataloging Basque Library
materials. Her services are highly welcomed, as the backlog
of materials was beginning to grow out of control.
Previously, Ms. Etcheverria directed the two-year cataloging
grant project known as the “Basque Studies Collection
Cataloging Project,” funded by the U.S. Department of
Education. Kathryn was instrumental in the success of the
project which surpassed its goal of providing full-level
cataloging for 10,000 monographic titles in the Basque
Library. In a relatively short time since her return,
Kathryn has been impressive with her monthly cataloging
productivity levels.
The Basque Studies Program has been accepted into a
consortium of institutions in the Basque region of Spain to
provide full-text access via CD-ROM to eight Basque
newspapers: Egunkaria, El Correo Vasco,
Deia, El Diario Vasco, Egin, El
Mundo, Diario de Navarra and Diario de
Noticias de Navarra. The Basque Library plans to make
this information available as soon as the CDs are
received.
Recently, the Basque Studies Program and Library
received a very generous donation of 400 pounds of serial
and monographic duplicates from the library of H.A.B.E., the
Basque Autonomous Government’s Basque language teaching
agency. We are very appreciative of the response from Basque
governmental and provincial agencies to aid Reno in building
a comprehensive library collection at the University of
Nevada. The shipment included many issues of serial titles
which filled gaps in the Basque Library and even more
importantly included new serial titles such as:
Aretxagazeta, Ere, Lau haizetara, and
Udala. Thanks to caring Basque organizations such as
H.A.B.E., a sense of cooperation and collaboration is
growing in the field of Basque studies.
Following is a short list of Marcelino’s
noteworthy new titles in the Basque
Library:
]Atxaga, Bernardo. The Lone Man.
(Translated from the Spanish version by Margaret Jull
Costa). London: Harvill Press, 1996.
