Abstract During the 1996 HST/FOS monitoring campaign of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3516, the UV continuum showed a factor of 5 variation; correspondingly the strongest broad UV emission lines (e.g. Lyα, C iv) displayed somewhat weaker, though still significant variations (a factor of 2). In contrast, no variation was detected in the strong broad Mg ii + UV Fe ii emission-line complex. While historically the flux in the broad Mg ii emission line has varied (a factor of 2 within a few years), the profile shape has not been observed to change over the past decade. In contrast, the high ionization lines (HILs) show both emission-line flux and profile changes on relatively short timescales, which appear to be correlated with changes in the continuum level. Significantly, on 1996, February 21, the profile shapes of the HILs (e.g. Lyα, C iv) and low ionization lines (LILs, e.g. Mg ii) were identical, at which time the continuum level was at its highest. These results impose stringent constraints upon viable kinematic models of the BLR in NGC 3516, some of which we discuss below. Subject headings : galaxies : Seyfert — galaxies : individual (NGC 3516) — galaxies : emission lines — galaxies : kinematics and dynamics – 2 – 1. Introduction NGC 3516 is a Seyfert 1 galaxy with a well documented history of short-timescale, large-amplitude continuum and emission-line variability (Koratkar et al. 1996). Historically, IUE/SWP spectra o
