Basque Studies Program Newsletter · Issue
58, 1998
Liburutegitik - From the Basque
Library
by Marcelino Ugalde
The Basque Studies Library is very pleased to
announce that a new library assistant has been hired. This
past April, Brett Copeland, a native Nevadan and American
Basque, joined the Basque Library staff as a Library
Assistant III. Mr. Copeland holds an M.A. in Spanish
language and literature from the University of Nevada, Reno.
He also participated in the University Studies Abroad
Consortium on the Donostia-San Sebastián program
during the 1984-85 school year. Basque reference work as
well as managing the Basque serials collection and Basque
vertical file are Mr. Copeland’s main duties in the
library. Previously, he worked in the Acquisitions
Department in the main library, bringing many computer
skills with him to his new job. The Basque Studies Program
and Library are very excited to have Mr. Copeland as a
member of the Basque Studies staff.
As stated in previous newsletters, the Basque Studies
Library extends its public service hours during the fall and
spring semesters of the university’s school year and is
open on Saturdays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. If
necessary, extended hours to use the library can be arranged
by contacting the Basque Studies Librarian or Library
Assistant. Information about the Basque Library can be found
on its webpage at the following URL:
http://www.library.unr.edu/~basqlib.
The Basque Studies Library is expending more and more
effort on inputting public domain information in Basque on
the World Wide Web. Finding aids and guides to paper
collections in the Basque Library are also receiving much
needed attention for inclusion on the Web. For example, if
you access the NEON webpage (www.library.unr.edu) for the
University of Nevada, Reno Libraries, and then click on the
“Articles, Indexes & Databases” link, you will
find the “Basque studies” subject link. Clicking
on “Basque studies” takes you to the
“Information Resources for Basque Studies”
webpage. At the bottom of this page is a link to newspapers
published in the Basque Country, in the Basque language, or
ones that provide information about the Basques and their
regions. One can also find links to the Basque Studies
Library video collection and the widely-used “Selected
Bibliography of English-Language Materials in the Basque
Studies Library.” This bibliography is updated
yearly.
The following is a short list of Marcelino’s
noteworthy new titles in the Basque Studies
Library:
Elizen arteko Biblia. Bibli Elkarte Batuak.
Euskal Herriko Elizbarrutiak: Madrid; Donostia, 1994.
