Some images are difficult to read due to the poor condition of both the originals, which have ink stains, and the writing (especially those entirely written with black inks). The ink has faded away in some pages.This collection of Wolofal (Wolof Ajami) materials is copied as part of the EAP 334 Project (Digital Preservation of Wolof Ajami manuscripts of Senegal) led by Dr. Fallou Ngom in collaboration with WARA/WARC and Boston University Library.

New Roads for Patron-Driven E-books:Collection Development and Technical Services Implications of a Patron-Driven Acquisitions Pilot at Rutgers
No full textCollection development librarians have long struggled to meet user demands for new titles. Too often, required resources are not purchased, while some purchased resources do not circulate. E-books selected through patron-driven plans are a solution but present new challenges for both selectors and catalogers. Radical changes to traditional technical services workflows are required, and selectors must modify the selection process to give more choice to the user. Rutgers University librarians have adopted an innovative new technical services workflow and collection-development model to manage a successful, patron-driven acquisitions project for e-books in the fields of math and computer science.This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis Group in Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship on 13/12/2011, available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/1941126X.2011.627043
Wonders of Lo. The Artistic Heritage of Mustang
No full textMustang (Lo for its inhabitants), a district in the upper ranges of the Nepalese Himalayas, is dwelled by people of Tibetan stock. It was a semi-independent kingdom gravitating around Tibet from at least the 14th until the 18th century. After the Gorkhas’ takeover, the king of Lo became an officer of the Nepalese government, retaining a degree of autonomy, which has been lost since the kingdom of Nepal has turned into a republic.
Arts flourished in Lo, particularly between the 14th and 16th century, under its local dynasty, in a cultural environment strongly influenced by the presence of the religious order of Sakya, the great monastic fortress in southwest Tibet.
In particular, the 15th-century wall paintings in the assembly hall and in the temple of Maitreya at Möntang, the traditional capital of Lo, have the same aesthetic quality found in the famous murals at Gyantse, the ancient capital of a kingdom in southwest Tibet, and at Tsaparang, the ancient capital of the western Tibetan kingdom, while the 14th-century murals in the cave temple of Luri reflect the interpretation of Indian aesthetics as transmitted to Tibet through the Newar artists of the Nepal Valley and may be related to contemporary wall paintings in the monastery Shalu, in southwest Tibet.
Monastic institutions and artistic production in Lo had suffered for a long time from a process of decay well before with the Gorkha conquest, and what was left of the region’s artistic treasures was already in a poor state of preservation at the time the great tibetologist Giuseppe Tucci visited the area in October 1952.
Besides recording the most important and some hitherto unpublished religious sites of artistic interest, this monograph illustrates the restoration work carried out on the most important murals at Möntang, presently under the direction of Luigi Fieni, thanks to the sponsorship of the American Himalayan Foundation.
This volume represents the first monograph on the artistic heritage of Lo, dealing with its most representative features and placing special emphasis on its painting tradition, but without overlooking sculpture and architecture
