Consortium of Hellenic Studies Librarians

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Below is the posting I just sent to my mailing list and to others (ever happy to pass useful information along) A thought though - to get a link for CoHSL on the "ARGO" site page for world libraries http://argo.ekt.gr/Argo/ArgoENU.html (also suggestion for for any Libraries NOT already linked to do so) June Samaras ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Consortium of Hellenic Studies Librarians The Consortium of Hellenic Studies Librarians (CoHSL) is a group of academic research librarians in the US committed to building and maintaining research collections in Hellenic Studies and fostering the sharing of information and cooperation among them.

Web site again

by Rebecka Lindau

I hope you have all recovered from last weeks events, at least somewhat. I’ m looking forward to Karen’s and Rhea’s reports with photos(!) to help process all the good information provided by the many presenters and “tour guides.” Thanks again to Maria and Rhea and you all for the tremendous effort you put into making our “meeting” a success. I have added some of the projects discussed at our meeting to our Web page http://www.CoHSL.net. If you choose “Digital Projects” from the left vertical bar, you will be able to see what I have included so far. Please let me know if I have neglected to mention important projects and always provide the URL in your messages. Please keep in mind that it is a work in progress. If there is no Web access I have not included the institution. Rhea’s text on the CRL Web page about the Modern Greek Resources Project is linked to under “Working Documents and Other Projects.” The Program of the Athens meeting is linked to at the bottom of the text on the “About” page to remind us of the many presentations and visits. I hope to link to George’s well-written piece on an “Année Grèce Moderne” as soon as the new issue of the JMGS is published. If someone feels qualified to write a “concise” piece (or three) on the issues of interlibrary loan between Greek and non-Greek libraries, copyright and fair use in Greece (EU?), and EU funding of Greek library projects, I would like to add that to our page. For now, καλα Χριστουγεννα (Happy Hanukkah or Happy Winter Solstice for some of us) και καλη Πρωτοχρονια! Rebecka PS. If you are planning to attend the meeting of the “Forum for Classics, Libraries, and Scholarly Communication” at the conference of the American Philological Association in San Diego next month, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give a report from the Athens meeting. Please see place and time and the preliminary agenda below. Thanks. Saturday, January 6, 2007 12:00pm - 2:00pm Del Mar Room (3rd Floor, South Tower), San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina Preliminary Agenda: * Elections of new Chair and Secretary. * Temple Wright, the Center for Hellenic Studies in DC, will offer a brief overview of the Center and its activities and library. * A representative from the OUP will give a brief presentation of plans for an Oxford Classics Online project. * A representative from the Packard Humanities Institute Greek Epigraphy Project will offer a brief presentation of the project? * Jerry Heverly will report from the APA’s Development Committee on the latest concerning L’Année Philologique and funding and improvements to its interface, etc. * Announcements and updates on ongoing projects and solicitations for new projects and agenda ideas.

Access to ERMHS periodicals

by Giannis Kosmas

Dear all, at the Modern Greek Resources Meeting in Athens there was a request for a list of the Greek periodicals that exist in ERMHS database. I said that this list could be extracted somehow by Zephyr but I was wrong because ERMHS does not permit browsing in the "title" dictionary through Z39.50. But you can still get the list from ERMHS native interface at: http://public.ekt.gr/pls/skp/search.journal_search_1?opt=1 in the search box just enter a space character and select "Meros titlou". ;-) You 'll get as result 52 pages of 500 records each. I hope it helps! All the best, Giannis

[Ann] The week EU must deal with Turkey [December 11-15]

by Aristide D. Caratzas Publisher

This week, probably December 14 or 15, the European Union must come to grips with the issue of the admission of Turkey in its fold. While this idea has been promoted from a variety of vantage points, its viability remains to be seen. The Turkish regime has attempted to establish grounds for negotiations on subjects which are not negotiable, as some European politicians noted: While applying for entry to the European Union, they have not recognized Cyprus, one of its members. The last Turkish proposal of offering Cyprus access to one port and one airport in exchange for allowing the occupied zone to operate the port of Famagusta and the airport at Tymbou, effectively results in the de facto recognition of that part of the Republic of Cyprus which is governed by Turkey's proxies and occupied by its troops. The first title we list, In Turkey's Image by Dr. Christos Ioannides, reports in great detail on the conquest, occupation and systematic colonization of Cypriot territory by Turkey in 1974, including the methods it used to expel the Greek Cypriots from their ancestral land (or ethnically cleanse it, to use a term favored more recently...) and to change its ethnic character by defiling Christian churhes and destroying the evidence of primeval Greek habitation. This process still is taking place, even as the Turks demand to be accepted into the European family! It remains to be seen whether Europe will insist on upholding its values or will succumb to predator politics. The second title, Greeks in English-Speaking Countries, edited by Dr. Ioannides, includes contributions by a large number of scholars and concerns issues affecting thriving Greek diasporic communities which paradoxically in great part discovered and mobilized themselves as a result of the Cypriot tragedy. Aristide D. Caratzas, Publisher Both these books may be ordered through your favorite bookseller or directly, through our web site http://www.caratzas.com, or by ordering from Aristide D. Caratzas, Publisher PO Box 344H Scarsdale NY 10583 (USA) Tel: 914-725-4847 In Turkey's Image The Transformation of Occupied Cyprus into a Turkish Province Christos P. Ioannides "A meticulous culling of information illustrating the systematic Turkish colonization of the areas of Cyprus that have been under its occupation since the invasion of 1974 . . . The major conclusion of the book is that Turkification, under the tutelage of the Turkish military, has severely undermined the autonomy of the Turkish Cypriots and may well destroy their distinctive identity, thereby eliminating any serious possibility of reuniting the divided island republic . . . 'In Turkey's Image' is an unusually formidable contribution by a fine Greek Cypriot scholar . . ." --Choice xii+254 pages (includes illustrations) clothbound ISBN: 0-89241-509-6 Price: $30.00 __________ Greeks in English-Speaking Countries Culture, Identity, Politics Edited by Christos P. Ioannides The book takes its title from a pioneering conference that was organized by the Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, co-sponsored by the Hellenic Studies Forum, Melbourne, Australia, in cooperation with the Hellenic Studies Institute of South Australia, Adelaide and the Humanities Department of California State University, Sacramento. The essays gathered in this volume cover a broad range of subjects and are grouped under the following themes: · Greek ethnicity and culture in English-speaking countries; · Hellenism and Orthodoxy in the diaspora: toward convergence or divergence; · Education and Greek identity; · Greek diaspora women in the 1990s: beyond the kale noikokyra (good housewife) image; · Linkages between the diaspora and Greece; · The sense of "Greekness" in literature and the arts among the diaspora Greeks; · Politics and the diaspora. The last category covers the sub-themesof the Cyprus and Macedonian issues and diaspora political activism; Greeks in politics in the U. S. and Australia. 600 pages clothbound ISBN: 0-89241-568-1 Price: $60.00 http://www.caratzas.com/moreinfo.cfm?Product_ID=4061 Aristide D. Caratzas, Publisher Melissa International Ltd.
