Abstract:
Image caption on page 96 of the book US National Library of Medicine: "The Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary was quickly adopted by medical libraries for cataloging their own collections. MEDLARS - the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System - was an equally significant accomplishment for the library. Establishing an online version of the system as MEDLINE (MEDLARS Online), in the early 1970s, opened it up to more medical librarians around the country, and later to the world. Together MeSH and MEDLINE proved to be invaluable tools for medical research. By the 1970s, staff members of the library and in medical libraries around the country were entering MeSH vocabulary into networked MEDLINE computer terminals to find relevant journal articles to answer patron inquiries both onsite and remotely. Indexers required in-depth knowledge in a wide variety of disciplines. Staff members might be called upon to review literature from any branch of science or medicine, and they often kept at their desks reference copies of textbooks, medical dictionaries, and foreign language dictionaries."

The new docklands library. The structure is a structural timber. Not steel or concrete.
Clearly the bollards on the (now a) promenade (previously a working wharf) are pointless - no doubt there was an urban design decision that retaining them would "hold the memory" of the previously life of this once hard working place. Instead, this is the financial head quarters of Australia - So while there are people working hard here, they work hardest to make sure you don't get ahead. There is a great book review here on an expose on Wall Street

Lyme Park is a large estate located south of Disley, Cheshire. The estate is managed by the National Trust and consists of a mansion house surrounded by formal gardens, in a deer park in the Peak District National Park.[1] The house is the largest in Cheshire,[2] and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.[3]
The estate was granted to Sir Thomas Danyers in 1346 and passed to the Leghs of Lyme by marriage in 1388. It remained in the possession of the Legh family until 1946 when it was given to the National Trust. The house dates from the latter part of the 16th century. Modifications were made to it in the 1720s by Giacomo Leoni, who retained some of the Elizabethan features and added others, particularly the courtyard and the south range. It is difficult to classify Leoni's work at Lyme, as it contains elements of both Palladian and Baroque styles.[a] Further modifications were made by Lewis Wyatt in the 19th century, especially to the interior. Formal gardens were created and developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house, gardens and park have been used as locations for filming and they are open to the public. The Lyme Caxton Missal is on display in the Library.
The land now occupied by Lyme Park was granted to Piers Legh and his wife Margaret D'anyers, by letters patent dated January 4, 1398, by Richard II, son of the Black Prince. Margaret D'anyers' grandfather, Sir Thomas D'anyers, had taken part in retrieving the standard of the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy in 1346, and was rewarded with annuity of 40 marks a year by the Black Prince, drawn on his Cheshire estate, and which could be exchanged for land of that value belonging to the Black Prince. Sir Thomas died in 1354, and the annuity passed to his nearest surviving kin, his granddaughter Margaret, who in 1388 married the first Piers Legh (Piers Legh I). Richard II favoured Piers and granted his family a coat of arms in 1397, and the estate of Lyme Handley in 1398 redeeming the annuity. However, Piers was executed two years later by Richard's rival for the throne, Henry Bolingbroke.[6]
When in 1415 Sir Piers Legh II was wounded in the Battle of Agincourt, his mastiff stood over and protected him for many hours through the battle. The mastiff was later returned to Legh's home and was the foundation of the Lyme Hall Mastiffs. They were bred at the hall and kept separate from other strains, figuring prominently in founding the modern breed. The strain died out around the beginning of the 20th century.[7][8]
The first record of a house on the site is in a manuscript folio dated 1465, but that house was demolished when construction of the present building began during the life of Piers Legh VII, in the middle of the 16th century.[5] This house, by an unknown designer, was L-shaped in plan with east and north ranges; piecemeal additions were made to it during the 17th century. In the 1720s Giacomo Leoni, an architect from Venice, added a south range to the house creating a courtyard plan, and made other changes.[3] While he retained some of its Elizabethan features, many of his changes were in a mixture of Palladian and Baroque styles.[2] During the latter part of the 18th century Piers Legh XIII bought most of the furniture which is in the house today. However, the family fortunes declined and the house began to deteriorate. In the early 19th century the estate was owned by Thomas Legh, who commissioned Lewis Wyatt to restore the house between 1816 and 1822. Wyatt's alterations were mainly to the interior, where he remodelled every room.[9] Leoni had intended to add a cupola to the south range but this never materialised.[10] Instead, Wyatt added a tower-like structure (a hamper) to provide bedrooms for the servants. He also added a one-storey block to the east range, containing a dining-room.[2] Later in the century William Legh, 1st Baron Newton, added stables and other buildings to the estate, and created the Dutch Garden.[9] Further alterations were made to the gardens by Thomas Legh, 2nd Baron Newton and his wife during the early 20th century.[11] In 1946 Richard Legh, 3rd Baron Newton, gave Lyme Park to the National Trust.wikipedia

Kiama Library was operating in creative mode on Monday 20th January 2014, amongst creepers, slimes, zombies, spiders and skeletons!
Young people aged 8 to 18 years were invited to join the fun at a long awaited Minecraft gaming event.
Kiama Library had upgraded their public computers and there was no better way to showcase improved hardware than a Minecraft Gaming Night.
Pizza and snacks were served on the night. You had to have your own official Minecraft account to play. Our PlayStation 3’s were also set-up on the night if you wanted to have a quick race of Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed.
A little but essential interruption to my Yorkshire & London Grand Tour pics.
I'm a huge fan of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I've read the book many times and love the lively characters in the book. Written 200 years ago in the early 1800s yet the story told by Jane Austen still happens and applies to our society today. Pride and Prejudice is timeless and universal, which is probably why the book is as popular as ever.
I added this photo here because part of my London trip was to visit some places mentioned in the book.
