`DECLARATION OF LOUISE CLARKE
`
`I, LOUISE CLARKE, declare as follows:
`
`I am over the age of eighteen (18) years of age and competent to make this
`
`declaration.
`
`I am Deputy Superintendent of the Manuscripts Reading Room at
`
`Cambridge University Library (“CUL”).
`
`I began working at CUL as a book
`
`fetcher in 1988 and continued in that position until 1990. From 1990 until 2001, I
`
`worked at CUL in cataloguing. In September 2001, I became Deputy
`
`Superintendent of the Manuscripts Reading Room at CUL. Since then, I have been
`
`responsible for processing and cataloguing theses at CUL.

`
`(together, “the Theses”).
`
`I reviewed the catalogue entries for each of the Theses and was able to see
`
`that the Theses were approved by the Board of Graduate Studies on the following
`
`respective dates:

`
`Cambridge University Reporter on Wednesday 23 April 1997)

`
`
`
`The Theses were added to the CUL catalogue prior to the update of the CUL
`
`catalogue to the Voyager Library Management System in 2002.
`
`Prior to 2002, the CUL catalogue was maintained in an in-house database.
`
`Because I was responsible for adding theses to the CUL cataiogue since September
`
`2001, I personally used the in-house database and am familiar with how theses
`
`were added to the CUL catalogue in the course of regularly conducted activity of
`
`CUL’s business using that system, which was in place from the 19903 until the
`
`implementation of the Voyager Library Management System in 2002.
`
`During that time period, it was common and regular practice for a thesis to
`
`be added to the CUL catalogue approximately one month after the date on which
`
`the thesis was approved by the Board of Graduate Studies. In accordance with the
`
`common practice during this time period, the Board of Graduate Studies would
`
`regularly provide an electronic file to CUL that included bibliographic information
`
`of recently approved theses and upon receipt, the bibliographic information for
`
`these theses would be loaded from the electronic file into the CUL catalogue in the
`
`in-house database. Theses added to the CUL catalogue in the in—house database
`
`_3_
`
`
`
`reasonable belief that each of the Theses would have been added to the CUL
`
`catalogue for the public to access approximately one month from the above
`
`respective dates on which each of the Theses was approved by the Board of
`
`Graduate Studies.
`
`Moreover, I am highly confident that the Theses were added to the CUL
`
`catalogue and records of the Theses were available for the public to access using
`
`the CUL catalogue in the in—house database by no later than six months from the
`
`above respective dates on which each of the Theses was approved by the Board of
`
`Graduate Studies.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of
`
`America that the foregoing is true and correct.

`Executed at Cambridge, England on the flday of August, 2014.
