Mathematical Association now on COPAC

When, I say now, I really mean they did it in August but this blog didn't exist then so...that's my excuse for only mentioning it now.

The Mathematical Association started in 1871 with the fantastic name of the Association for the Improvement of Geometrical Teaching but it is still going. The University takes many of their publications. The University of Leicester's Library houses the MA's full collection which goes back to a 1533 copy of Euclid's Elements [shown here].

You can discover what's in the collection by checking COPAC's online catalogue: http://copac.ac.uk/. This includes the holdings of over 70 British and Irish academic and special libraries.

The University of Leicester, like almost all HE libraries, belongs to the SCONUL Access scheme. So, students of UoB can apply for a SCONUL card for Leicester. Depending on what kind of course you get, you'll qualify for different types of membership.
