A Summary Description of the Papers of the National Union of Students Students' unions and guilds had existed in individual British universities since the 19th century, but there was no attempt to set up a national body until the early years of the 20th century. This archive was deposited in the Centre between 1988 and 1996 by both the National Union of Students and by David Gilles, a former member of the Executive Committee (1971-73). Every constituent member may send one delegate to Annual Conference for every 1,000 full-time equivalent students the institution has (although all with more than 750 students can send at least two delegates); all but one of each delegation (usually the union president) must be elected by the students. www.warwick.ac.uk /services/library/mrc/ead/280col.htm   (1090 words)

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ACTION IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE STUDENTS OF SOUTHERN AFRICA Paper presented to the International Student Conference in Solidarity with the Struggle of the Students in Southern Africa, organised by the United Nations Special Committee against Apartheid in cooperation with the British Anti-Apartheid Movement and the National Union of Students of the United Kingdom, at Goldsmith College, London, July 31- August 3, 1987. Students and youth have, of course, played a significant role in many national liberation movements around the world and in some cases, student action was crucial in ending colonial oppression or overthrowing corrupt dictatorial regimes. The new spirit which spread in the student communities during the civil rights struggle in the United States, the campaign against the war in Vietnam and the "student revolt" of 1968, enabled students to undertake such mass action against apartheid. www.anc.org.za /ancdocs/history/campaigns/student.html   (5674 words)

nusonline.co.uk NUS runs a site for Student Officers and others involved in the running of Students' Unions.

Lorcan Dempsey's weblog The National Library of Australia has made a version of its union catalog openly available on the web (an enhanced version is available to subscribers). In this context, it is interesting to reflect that the distinctive value of union catalogs is the holdings data: a union catalog is a registry of 'information object' data related to holding institutions.
