Subject: [NetGold] RELIGION: SAINTS:  Tidbit of Possible Interest: Patron Saint 
of Libraries

A major portion of the interest of this message is the unlikely discussion
group that it is found on, the Liblicense discussion group.

Introduction to Liblicense
<http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense/intro.shtml>

"Increasingly, university and research libraries are being inundated with
information that has been created in digital format and transmitted and
accessed via computers. As the number of collections in digital formats
increase exponentially, more and more libraries and information providers
are facing a number of unique challenges presented by this relatively new
medium.

Chief among these new challenges is crafting agreements with information
owners that adequately assure libraries will continue to provide users
with comprehensive and timely access to information in digital formats."

This is not a venue where I would expect to find information small or
large about medieval history and I perhaps may be lacking in imagination
in this regard.  To put it another way, I do not know where medieval
historians turn to find primary and secondary source material for their
individual research projects and efforts, but I suspect that the
Liblicense discussion group is not on their radar screens.

Patron saints
<http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense/ListArchives/0311/msg00071.html>

"On various lists, you can find Catherine of Alexandria, Jerome, or
Lawrence listed as the patron saint of librarians.  These are at best
semi-official designations and various saints are found over time to have
diverse interests."

This website is listed in the above linked Liblicense message.

St. Wiborada, Patron Saint of Libraries
<http://www.mhgs.edu/library/wiborada.asp>

"St. Wiborada lived as a recluse near the Monastery of Sankt Gallen in the
10th century AD.  Sankt Gallen was in the Kingdom of Swabia, part of
present-day Switzerland.  During the 10th century the monastery of Sankt
Gallen had one of the most extensive library collections in Europe."

Welcome to the information science and library electronic resource
licensing world of medieval studies.
