INTERNATIONAL KIERKEGAARD NEWSLETTER: l Autumn 1979

Copenhagen Kierkegaard Report - Seren Kierkegaard Biblioteket:Space and time problem; One of the problems of the S. K. Bibliotek is thatsometimes too many researchers come in one period and too few in another withthe result that there can be shorta^e of either space or contact with fellowresearchers should one particularly be hoping for the latter. We hope to tryand help ease this problem a little by making it known through these reportshow many are using the Bibliotek. We have only 4 desks in the Bibliotek itself.Use of these can be booked (if they are free) when writing to the secretary/Professor Thulstrup about the proposed research trip. There are of courseseveral other libraries in the building and it is always possible to use theS. K. Bibliotek desks, but it is not possible to leave books and papers etc.on them. In the main S. K. Bibliotek, we have at the moment 2 researchersstaying until summer 198C, and one staying pcssibly until 1982, (from Japan,the U.S. and Germany), while Danish students often use the Bibliotek for shortperiods. Of the two desks in the extra room, one of these is still free atpresent, but this room may not be available in future s a private one.Seren Kierkegaard Bibliotek books; For prospective researchers wanting to knowwhich books not to bring with them, a list of the books in the S. K. Bibliotekis in preparation (a very rough list already available). When finished, thelist will be sent to key Kierkegaard research places in the U. S. and elsewhere(or can be obtained through the address at the end of this report).Typing facilities; These have at last been improved so that we now have one fastcorner in the tea-kitchen where researchers can type. The machine is a larsmanual Adler, and we have a proper typing desk, chair and lamp, with a littleside-table if one has a lot of papers.Corning to the Bibliotek; New visitors to the S. K. Bibliotek should note that theentrance is no. 46 Kebmagergade, under the arch immediately to the right of adress/clothes' shop called Nicolai, then in at the door on the right in the yard.For those who have been unlucky enough not to have secured accommodation beforecoming to Copenhagen, make for the S. K. Bibliotek on the Jrd floor (best timebetween 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.). Here you can get a Bibliotek key from the secret-ary, and in the Bibliotek itself on the table is an Information File which canhelp you solve your accommodation problems by telling you of places where youcan start looking. (Accommodation is one of our major problems).Information File;; Our new Information File tries to cover the problems met byevery new S. K. researcher here. There is Information about accommodation,cheap eating places and stores, how to find your way about the building, Copen-hagen, Gilleleje, etc.Wednesdays; If you want to meet current S. K. researchers and be sure of personalguidance through the building1s intricacies, come on a Wednesday morning when weusually gather in the tea-kitchen for a chat over tea/coffee.Other; For those who have researched at the S. K. Bibliotek and had any partic-ular problems not mentioned here, or have any suggestions they would like takenup, please write to: Julia Watkin, Stenagervej 15, 29CC Copenhagen Hellerup,Denmark, and I'll do my best to see what we can do.

INTERNATIONAL KIERKEGAARD NEWSLETTSR: 2 Autumn 1980Last year s a trial run I sent out the Autumn 1979 Newsletter to several placesto see if there was a demand for a Kierkegaard Newsletter that would keep Kierke-gaard scholars informed about the Kierkegaard scene at an international level.As my starting point I began with Information about the S0ren Kierkegaard Sib-liotek in Copenhagen, the idea being that recipients of the Newsletter wouldcollect up the yearly ccpies in a file, no Information being unnecessarily re-peated. The Newsletter went down very well indeed and will continue this yearon the same basis, except that you will all be compiling it, i.e. this Newsletterwill be your open communication channel when you want to inform other scholarsabout Kierkegaard societies, books and Conferences, share probleins, etc. I willfaithfully do my best to see that everything srets included, bearing in mindavailable space, and if I have not/do not mention any particular Kierkegaardsociety, Conference or problem, this will be through ignorance. So please keepme informed.The Seren Kierkegaard Bibliotek Copenhagen; (See also Newsletter l).
