Sally takes us through some key features of the new and much-improved catalogue interface; Tracey writes about the Commonwealth law collection, with particular emphasis on online resources; James, inspired by the Ridley Scott biopic, digs out some contemporary accounts of Napoleon’s defeat and exile (all from the Library’s own collections).
