ABTAPL Bulletin

In this country ABTAPL has attempted to fulfil on a national level the role which was envisaged for it as part of the international organisation. It has done so by producing a guide to religious bibliographies in serial literature, in addition to the Bulletin and the programme of meetings.

The new edition of the Guide to Theological Libraries can now be accessed online.

Please send any amendments to Steve Dixon (E-mail: s.dixon@newman.ac.uk)

The ABTAPL Guidelines for Theological Libraries (pdf file)

The primary aim of the booklet is to set out guidelines for the provision of library services in colleges involved in theological education and training. This edition replaces those produced in 1990 and covers areas such as collection management, information technology, information literacy, staffing, library co-operation and management. It is hoped that the guidelines will be of some practical use to a wider range of institutions that constitute the ABTAPL membership.
