Dear Colleagues
You will have seen press reports of the fire that destroyed our Mackintosh
Library, often voted one of the most beautiful library spaces in the world.
We've issued a statement here
http://gsalibrarytreasures.wordpress.com/2014/05/30/statement-on-the-mackin…
The entire library and its contents were destroyed, but we have been
humbled by the many good wishes and kind words we have received across the
world from friends and strangers alike.
We have received many offers of book donations to help us rebuild our lost
collections. In response we have released a wants list of specific titles
that we are seeking, which you can find here
http://lib.gsa.ac.uk/update-on-fire-affected-library-services/
If any of your hold these volumes in your collections that you would be
willing to donate to us, they would be very gratefully received as we begin
the process to rebuild what was lost. Please also feel free to circulate
this list across your institutions or to others you feel may be able to
help us.
Best wishes
Duncan Chappell
Academic Liaison Librarian
