Fundamentals of Paper Model Design is a free 2010 ebook by Angel David Guzman. Freely available in PDF format with additional Blender scripts, the 226-page book details how folded paper sculptures can be created using advanced 3D software such as the free open-source Blender suite. The book also gives an overview of other software used to create complex paper models. The book is clearly written and illustrated, and will be of use to a range of professions including contemporary fine artists, book artists, crafts makers, architects, stop-motion animators, stage set designers, and product designers. The book is deeply informed and is generally of a quality that would normally only come from a major publisher. There is a useful eight-page glossary.

Big change at Avery Index
College users of Avery Index, the important finding tool for architectural periodical articles, may have noticed that the library now sources this service through the database provider OCLC FirstSearch.
Use of the FirstSearch platform brings us into line with Edinburgh University and means that all architecture students, staff and researchers in the two institutions can access Avery through the same search interface.
FirstSearch searches the same Avery data as CSA Illumina, our previous supplier, and provides similar powerful search facilities and online help and search tips.
A seminar introducing College users to Avery Index via the OCLC FirstSearch interface will be arranged later this semester.
Avery Index can be accessed on or off-campus by following the links on this Portal page.
