NEW EDITION INFORMATION

Submissions received -Datasets have been harmonised and reweighted. Requested formal deposit - Dear Sara Thank you for your email message and attached documents. Please send the cd-rom to me using the address at the end of this email. In terms of accompanying forms; for future deposits it will not be necessary to complete duel sets of forms. The shorter data submission forms will not be required but the longer (much loved) deposit forms will, I’m afraid. The two sets of forms are available because we have had to introduce a two stage deposit process, the submission form for ESRC, British Academy and other more academic depositors which enables us to assess the materials for inclusion in the collection, and the more formal deposit forms created for depositors of regular or major series data collections which includes materials from the European Foundation. Further information about the stages and the forms, is available here: http://www.esds.ac.uk/aandp/create/depintro.asp In an effort to make the form filling process a little less painful, we have introduced an electronic presentation which has focused on the key elements required to create the basis of the catalogue record. The forms can be downloaded from the following page: http://www.esds.ac.uk/aandp/create/depform.asp and once completed, returned electronically. For the purposes of submitting the EWC materials, it will not be necessary to complete the ‘new’ electronic forms but may I ask you to complete these in future? We are also working on a web based presentation of the forms (which will overcome the problems and conflicts of downloading the files and internal firewalls), and hope to release these in the next few months. I will inform you once these are available. In the meantime, if you have any further queries or questions about the deposit process, do please contact me. With best wishes Susan 29-jan-07
