Many Ottoman manuscripts can be found in national libraries, university libraries and private collections in Europe. One such library is that of the University of Cambridge in Britain. Turkish manuscripts in this library have been catalogued by E.G. Browne. After his death in 1926, Turkish manuscripts continued to be added to the collection of the Cambridge University Library but these were not catalogued. This article is an initial survey of the as yet un-catalogued Turkish manuscripts in the Cambridge University Library collection which it is hoped will be of use to researchers.

Objective: To present the analysis of the bibliographic collection of the Universidad de Granada (UGR) taking as a reference the teaching guides of the Degree in Psychology during the academic year 2019/2020. Method: An analysis of the bibliographic collection of the teaching guides of the Degree in Psychology of the UGR was carried out. Documents were analysed by title, year, document categorisation, document type and subject data. Information on availability and the possibility of consulting the document online was also included. The search was carried out in the automated online catalogue of the UGR Library. Results: A total of 1,775 bibliographic references were contained in the teaching guides of the 49 subjects (distributed among six departments). A total of 76.8% were considered complementary by the teachers and 89.2% of the proposed documents were books. The UGR libraries had 81.8% of the references, while the Psychology library had 65.8% of the material. 24.4% of the references had a more up-to-date edition in the library. Contribution: The analysis of the bibliographic collection provides information on the adequacy of the teaching guides and the availability of the university library collection. This is an indicator of the quality of teaching and of the university library system.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the websites of university libraries to ascertain that libraries are effectively utilizing their respective websites to provide easy access to all electronic resources available in the library. The objective was also to a represent a comparative analysis between public and private university library websites regarding the presence of electronic resources with their easy access via the internet. For the purpose of this study, a research instrument in the form of comprehensive checklist of eighteen e-resources was developed to evaluate their accessibility in the websites of public and private university libraries. Twenty university library websites, comprised of ten top-ranked public and ten top-ranked private universities in Bangladesh, were studied for data collection using content analysis method. The findings demonstrate that the presence of e-resources on selected university library websites is still in its early stage, but it has been growing rapidly. The private university library websites are ahead of public university libraries in terms of the integration of web-resources. It is hoped that the findings of this paper will serve to assist the University librarians and other similar institutions in choosing, selecting and acquiring the most appropriate format of information resources, and making these available to their websites, which will both satisfy the needs of their library users and fit within their library budget.
