This section introduces a checklist that provides a comprehensive guide to the provincial newspaper press of the Independent Labour Party (ILP) in Great Britain from 1893 to 1906. The first problem is to define an ILP newspaper. Newspapers have been included when it is certain that they were published by branches of the ILP or when it is reasonably certain that they were published in the interest of, and with the approval of, the local ILP. The overwhelming majority were published as the official organs of branches, but there are some doubtful cases. Neither the newspapers Pioneer nor the Socialist were actually published by the ILP but in each case the only socialist party or organization advertised in them was the local ILP and in the case of the Socialist, the paper and the local ILP shared the same address. Four were imprinted with the name of specific ILP branches, who had joined the scheme, and it must be assumed that the other two were also published on behalf of the local ILP branch. A number of local ILP newspapers may have escaped attention altogether. Whereas the majority of papers were periodicals, a small number were published for a specific purpose, such as an election, and there may have been many other similar ventures which did not attract the attention of librarians or the editors of other newspapers.

For the past three years, students and academic staff at Brunei University have been able to make use of videotape for private study by operating self‐replay videotape machines. These videotape machines are now being intensively used both in departmental laboratories as well as the University Library where videotapes are freely available on open shelves, like books. The background to the development of this facility, its effect on the types of videotape materials being made available and being produced, and the practical problems of running a self‐replay facility are examined. The extent to which self‐replay is already being used at Brunei indicates that it will inevitably play a major role in the viewing of educational and instructional videotapes in the future, particularly in the light of the development of the videocassette recorder.
