Loans from the OSME library
|
The OSME Library currently has 1940 items: 68 books, 55 booklets, 499 journals, 677 newsletters, 210 papers, 295 reports, 131 trip reports, five maps and videos. These are in nine languages: Arabic (22), Czech (three), Dutch (94), English (1568), French (44), German (124), Hebrew (34), Swedish (five) and Turkish (46). The largest collection of material is, unsurprisingly, devoted to Turkey (329), but Cyprus (283), Israel (180) and UAE (175) are also well represented. At the other end of the spectrum are Afghanistan (nothing), Iran (four), Qatar (six), and Djibouti, Morocco and Syria all with nine. The vast collection of material within the OSME library is available to OSME members and bona fide researchers. Applications to loan material from the OSME library should be made to Keith Betton or via the email link to the left. |
SUPPORTING MEMBER
| Supporting Membership Scheme
|
This special OSME membership category carries not only a year's membership to OSME for the subscriber but also for a Middle East or Central Asian resident as well. This enables the Society to further its presence within the region by supporting and encouraging the development of local birdwatchers operating in Middle East countries. The cost of this subscription is £30 per year for U. K. members, and £35 for those resident overseas. Those interested in the scheme should contact OSME at the address below or use the link on the left. |
SITES MONITORING SCHEME
| Sites monitoring scheme
|
The Sites Monitoring Scheme specifically monitors registered Important Bird Areas (IBAs) and potential IBAs in the Middle East and Central Asia. If you would like to contribute to this scheme by targeting specific IBAs on a visit to a country in the Middle East or Central Asia, this would be extremely valuable. For further information and recording sheets, please contact OSME at the address below or use the email link on the left. |
