The Library, Archives and Museum are a major component of South Carolina's only state-assisted military college, The Citadel. They participate in the teaching, research, and public service programs of The Citadel: by providing scholarly information; by the acquisition, organization, management, preservation, and arrangement of collections for access and use; by provision of supportive reference and instruction services; and by a variety of cooperative and reciprocal programs in the local area, the region and the state. This annual report discusses their activities for the year 2004/05.

Media fandom is an ephemeral culture, and online fandom even more so. A printed zine from the 1970s may last longer than a story published online in the last six months. For some, fandom is a private endeavor, and that very impermanence a desirable feature. But for those who seek to read and be read, to build on and be inspired by the collective history of fannish creativity, there is nothing so vital to authorial fandom's survival as the archive. In the following, I intend to give a brief overview of the main online interfaces fans have used to share their works and how these have affected authorial control, reader accessibility, and general permanence.

Abstract
This article will draw on the material culture collections of GLAM institutions to relate the under-researched and entwined histories of the Australian dried fruits industry and the post-First World War soldier settlement scheme. Using cookbooks, marketing posters, sheet music, newspapers, photographs and government reports, this article will show how popular culture was harnessed to support struggling returned soldiers. In so doing, Australian dried fruits became a symbol for nationalism, patriotism, nutrition and household economy. In the early 1920s, Australians were consuming less than a quarter of the 65,000 tonnes of dried fruit produced each year, much of which was grown and harvested by returned soldiers. Many soldier settlers were struggling to farm their grants of land successfully. Those that could reap a harvest were dismayed to find no market for it. Responding to this situation, the Victorian Dried Fruits Board commissioned Miss Flora Pell to write A Sunshine Cookery Book, which contained 50 recipes (all using dried fruits) 'for the modern table'. The foreword to this free cookbook was patriotic and moralistic. 'Housewives' were urged to support returned soldiers by buying Australian currants, sultanas and raisins and cooking with them every day. As well as showing their patriotism by supporting returned soldiers, they were also encouraged to do their duty by their families, and feed them dried fruits, which were nutritious and economical. Food choices were political, even in the 1920s.

S razvojem tehnologije i ulaskom u globalno doba dolazi do potrebe za izmjenama i unutar knjižnica kao stupova društva. Knjižnice su s izmjenama u informacijskoj, komunikacijskoj i prije svega u tehnološkoj sferi zahtijevale brzu prilagodbu novu načinu rada. Digitalizacija knjižnične građe koja se obrađuje u radu dugotrajan je i financijski i stručno zahtjevan proces koji treba doprinijeti poboljšanju rada knjižnica, pomoći korisnicima, poboljšati informacijsko opismenjavanje te potaknuti niz drugih čimbenika. Znanstvena zajednica, ali i šira društvena zajednica, s procesom digitalizacije imala bi veći pristup informacijama, a time i mogućnost usvajanja većega znanja. Da bismo govorili o procesu digitalizacije i njegovim prednostima, moramo prvo razlikovati pojmove poput digitalne knjižnice, hibridne knjižnice i elektroničke knjižnice, što ovaj rad i prikazuje. Bez potpora vlada, međunarodnih organizacija i raznih drugih pokrovitelja knjižnice ne mogu postati spoj kulture, obrazovanja, znanosti i cjelokupnoga razvoja. Kroz pregled povijesnoga nastanka i razvoja digitalnih knjižnica možemo uočiti da su najvećim dijelom digitalizirana djela prije 20. stoljeća, a jedan od uzroka tomu je autorsko pravo koje onemogućava digitalizaciju djela 20. i 21. stoljeća bez autorova pristanka. Rad navodi niz prednosti digitalizacije knjižnične građe od očuvanja intelektualnoga sadržaja, smanjivanja mehaničkoga oštećenja, uštede prostora, povećanja dostupnosti građe, učestalosti korištenja građe itd. Da bi se građa digitalizirala, autori prema nizu različitih stručnjaka navode koji su to elementi koje treba uzeti u obzir prilikom postupka digitalizacije. Djela siročad, djela bez autora, najveći su problem u procesu digitalizacije i procesu stvaranja digitalnih knjižnica. Direktiva koja je donesena na razini Europske unije vezana za ova djela još uvijek nije usvojena iako bi doprinijela postupku digitalizacije i dostupnosti takvih djela. Dio rada govori i o pojmu e-knjige, njezinu nastanku, definiranju, prednostima, ali i nedostatcima te formalnim i intelektualnim obilježjima e-knjige. Istraživački dio rada govori o trima velikim projektima digitalizacije na svjetskoj razini: o projektu Gutenberg, Million Book i Google Books. Kroz ove projekte započeo je velik projekt masovne digitalizacije knjižnične građe. Motiv ovih projekata bio je omogućavanje dostupnosti građe i informacija korisnicima. ; With the technological development and having entered the global age we are faced with a need to change the libraries too, libraries as the pillars of the society. Considering the changes in the information, communication and above all technological sphere there was a need for the libraries for a quick adjustment to the new ways of working. Digitalization of library archives, which is discussed in this paper, is a long and financially and professionally engaging process that is supposed to contribute to the efficiency of the libraries, help the users, advance information knowledge and prompt a number of other factors. Through the digitalization process the scientific community, as well as society as a whole, would have a larger information access, meaning possibility of acquiring more knowledge. In order to speak of the digitalization process and its advantages, we should first differenciate between the terms like digital library, hybrid library and electronic library, which this paper offers an overview of. Without the help of governments, international organizations and various other sponsors libraries cannot become an important factor in culture, education, science and overal development. Looking through the overview of historical development of the digital libraries, we can notice that it is mostly 20th ct. works that are digitalized. One of the reasons is the copyright that prevents digitalization of the 20th and 21st ct. works without the author's consent. The paper enumerates a number of advantages of the digitalization of library archives like intelectual content protection, smaller mechanical damages, space saving, larger access to the materials, frequency of usage of the archives,etc. According to a number of experts, the authors of this paper state the elements that should be taken into consideration in order to digitalize the archives. Orphan works, works without an author, are the largest problem in the digitalization process and the process of making digital libraries. A directive made at the level of EU is still not implemented although it would contribute to the digitalization process and availability of such works. A part of this paper is also about the term e-book, its etymology, definition, advantages and disadvantages, as well as about formal and intelectual properties of an e-book. The reseach part of the paper focuses onto three large digitalization processes in the world: Gutenberg project, Million Book and Google Books. These projects initiated the project of mass digitalization of the library archives. The motiv of these projects was to enable the users to have access to the archives and information.

This edition of correspondence from World War I, with an introduction and explanatory notes, includes transcriptions of 89 letters from Fliegerfunker (aerial radio operator) brothers Hugo and Kurt Hasskerl and 60 letters to/from Schütze (machine gunner) August Rose. All three men served with the German 2nd Army, headquartered in Cambrai, France, in 1917-1918. The originals were handwritten on various kinds of wartime and military stationery in the Kurrentschrift cursive style now long archaic in Germany. They are part of the Cooper K. Ragan Military History Collection, Cushing Memorial Library and Archives, Texas A&M University, in College Station, Texas.

Constructed to replace the original Kings County Courthouse in 1775, this building is now the Kingston Free Library and Little Rest Archives. Between 1776 and 1791 it served as one of five state houses used in rotation by the governor and legislature of Rhode Island. Between 1842 and 1854 this house was used biennially as the state house. The original structure was a large barn-like building with the existing bell cupola atop. In 1876 the mansard roof was added, with the cupola being raised to fit above it. The double door entrance also dates from the 1876 remodeling. Since 1971 it has been home to the Little Rest Archives, the name of which reflects the original name of Kingston Village, Little Rest, taken from the, "supposed sojourn of soldiers just prior to the Great Swamp Fight." This photograph shows the structure as it existed in 1980. ; https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/ri_architecture/1000/thumbnail.jpg
