Abstract

For the past twenty‐five years or so, the writings of George Orwell — especially his final novel 1984 — have been a popular topic for student research. From junior high through graduate school, interest in Orwell has been consistent. Book reports, term papers, and even seminars on Orwell are common‐place in the national curriculum. Now, as the year 1984 arrives, librarians at all levels — public, school, academic — must brace themselves for a year‐long onslaught of requests for biographical and critical material on Orwell.

Abstract

Reports on the results of a major flood at the University of Sussex Library’s repository at Lewes in October 2000, which severely damaged a collection of 42,000 books, 14,000 bound periodical volumes, microfilms, newspapers, report literature and other materials. It describes the way in which the detailed insurance claim was drawn up and the methodology used to quantify the losses, using a combination of machine‐readable data, card catalogues and estimation. It also describes the methodology used to calculate the cost of restoration and the value for replacement purposes. The outcome of the claim and future plans for collection development at Sussex are summarised. The conclusion draws some general lessons for future disaster prevention on how to minimise risks from flooding and gives advice on insuring library collections as well as drawing up insurance claims after disasters.

Abstract

The provocative theme of this year's Planning Forum conference was: “The New Strategic Leadership: Driving Change, Getting Results!” Leadership may be the only management concept that has received more attention lately — by business writers, as well as practitioners — than strategy. But there's little consensus on what strategic leadership is and how it should best be facilitated.

Abstract

Briefly reviews previous literature by the author before presenting an original 12 step system integration protocol designed to ensure the success of companies or countries in their efforts to develop and market new products. Looks at the issues from different strategic levels such as corporate, international, military and economic. Presents 31 case studies, including the success of Japan in microchips to the failure of Xerox to sell its invention of the Alto personal computer 3 years before Apple: from the success in DNA and Superconductor research to the success of Sunbeam in inventing and marketing food processors: and from the daring invention and production of atomic energy for survival to the successes of sewing machine inventor Howe in co‐operating on patents to compete in markets. Includes 306 questions and answers in order to qualify concepts introduced.
