Dear all goodmorning and my best wishes for a happy 2007. Rhea's message had woke me up concerning my "obligation" coming out from Gennadious meeting on December, on puting together all greek inititatives on providing greek digital content on web or elsewhere. As a matter of fact I had already done the most of the job a couple of weeks ago but as usually I postponed posting it to the list. Well now here it is my initial list with all resources I could find. Resources are presented in an excel table with usefull data (url, owner, type, format, access info etc). As I said above this must be considered only as a first step towards a full inventory of all greek digital initiatives. As it came out of the Genadious meeting we should create a registry for that reason that it would be also usefull to us here in Greece to avoid doing the same job more than once. In that sense my next step consists of the following: - gather more data about new projects coming out this next period (and there will be a lot as major digitization projects funded by the Information Society Program will be presented). If anyone knows a project I haven't included in the list just name it! - concerning collections and databases, to gather data about the titles that are digitized and/or indexed (I already have the most of this data, but somehow I have to orginize it... see next point). Anyway I can always just put in an excel table and later on we can import all this data into a nice database system. - to work on the stuctrure of such a registry: what information do we need to know for every resource and to what level. Any ideas and feedback will be wellcome. Of course this will take some time and a lot of cooperation and understanding between us. We'll see. I hope all these will be usefull to somebody. I am waiting for your feedback Sincerely Panos Georgiou Library & Information Service University of Patras tel: + 00 2610 969623 e-mail: panos(a)lis.upatras.gr

Pimp My Bookcart Contest (Library Content despite the title <g>)

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Pass this on for laughs. You have to scroll though all the entries on the site to get all the humour - but none had Greek or classical content, unfortunately. Maybe an Hellenic challenger next time ... with Doric columns and metopes ?? June S --------------------------------------- http://www.overduemedia.com/blog.aspx?post=745 Pimp My Bookcart Contest Winners, part I posted Monday, January 22, 2007 9:55:00 PM PST This was a bigger deal than we anticipated. We thought our "Pimp my Book Cart" contest was a funny idea that would spawn a dozen or so entries. But it seemed to spark something, and we started hearing from folks all over the country. It even spawned a "Pimp my Book Trolley" contest Down Under in Australia (we're judging that one too). Still, by last week we figured all the fuss had been just that, and that it was still going to be just a few contenders. But then a few days before the deadline, in a display of procrastination that impressed Bill, they started pouring in. We ended up getting over 100. Gene and I scrambled to organize and evaluate them (thanks, iPhoto!). Several times at ALA we left our booth in the capable hands of our store manager Jana so that we could look at almost 400 pictures of book carts that had been pimped up, down, in, and out. Finally this morning we reached agreement on the winner, several runners-up, and many honorable mentions. In the next week we'll publish a mostly complete list of the entries, but we didn't want to delay the big announcement. And so, without further ado: Grand Prize: Pink Cadillac by Katie George and the teens of the Miller Branch Library in Ellicot City, MD ------------------------------------------------------- June Samaras KALAMOS BOOKS (For Books about Greece) 2020 Old Station Rd Streetsville,Ontario Canada L5M 2V1 Tel : 905-542-1877 E-mail : kalamosbooks(a)gmail.com www.kalamosbooks.com

THE MGSA GREEK-AMERICAN INITIATIVE

by KALAMOS BOOKS

THE MGSA GREEK-AMERICAN INITIATIVE Yiorgos Anagnostou <anagnostu.1(a)osu.edu> "The MGSA Greek-American Initiative" The MGSA transnational studies committee announces "The MGSA Greek-American Initiative," a project whose purpose is to catalogue information about Greek-American archival material and to compile a detailed list of resources available in public and academic libraries on the topics of Greek diaspora and hyphenated Greeks. To achieve our goal we request that directors of modern Greek programs in the United States and elsewhere, researchers, librarians, community activists, staff in museums and preservation societies, as well as other interested parties share their knowledge of resources with us. We envision a database that among other purposes would facilitate research on Greek America and the Greek diaspora. Therefore we would welcome not merely web links to resources but, if possible, narratives and/or lists that identify and describe special collections, periodicals, newspaper holdings etc. Please think of the information you provide as a kind of detailed map that will help researchers most effectively navigate the archive. The results of this collaborative project will be posted at the MGSA website. Please forward all information to me at anagnostou.1(a)osu.edu Thank you in advance.

Fwd: Gennadius Library Clean Monday Benefit

by KALAMOS BOOKS

jgoble(a)ascsa.org Subject: Gennadius Library Clean Monday Benefit PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jane Conlon Goble jgoble(a)ascsa.org (609) 683-0800 ext. 14 January 19, 2007 Benefiting the Gennadius Library…7th Annual Clean Monday Celebration The Ambassador of Greece to the United States, Alexandros Mallias, and his wife, Françoise, will join the friends of Athens' Gennadius Library on February 19 to celebrate Clean Monday, "Kathari Deftera," at Estiatorio Milos in New York City to mark the end of Carnival and beginning of the Lenten season. The event features a unique Lenten cuisine prepared under the direction of Milos' famed Costas Spiliades. In Greece, Clean Monday is one of the most festive holidays of the year. Often coinciding with the first hints of spring, the day lures children and their parents into the countryside to fly kites and to feast on special Lenten fare prepared without the use of meat, dairy products or fish (except for fish roe, shellfish, octopus and squid). Cuttlefish stewed in wine, rice pilaf with mussels, varieties of bean stews and salads, squid stuffed with spinach and rice, Lenten dolmades and halva, and the once-a-year appearance of lagana, a yeastless bread, are among the unique tastes of the day, often accompanied by joyous music and dancing. Since 2001, the Gennadius Library has brought the celebration of this traditional Greek holiday to New York City. The Library is one of Greece's national treasures. Its 113,000 rare books and bindings, research materials, manuscripts, archives, and works of art illuminate Hellenism, Greece, and neighboring civilizations from antiquity to modern times. Opened in 1926, the Library began with the collection of diplomat and bibliophile, John Gennadius, who presented some 26,000 volumes and archives to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens to house and to make accessible to the public. Since then, it has added 87,000 volumes, the collection spanning the breadth of post-antique Hellenic civilization. In fulfillment of the vision of John Gennadius himself, and with the help of many people in Greece and the United States, the Library has become "a world center for the study of Greek history, literature, and art, both ancient, Byzantine, and modern." Ten years ago the Gennadeion Trustees embarked on the first Campaign for the Gennadius Library, with the support of distinguished men and women in Greece and in the United States. This Campaign raised funds to renovate and expand the historic Main Building; construct a new auditorium; build endowment; and initiate new programs in preservation, access and outreach. Now, the Trustees are launching a second Campaign, to raise funds for critical needs including acquisitions, conservation, digitalization, and education; and to expand exhibition and study space. The Clean Monday celebration, will begin at 6:30 with an open buffet serving traditional Clean Monday foods. Gregory Maninakis and the Mikrokosmos Ensemble will present music of Hadzidakis, Theodorakis, and others, for listening and for dancing. Open-seating tickets are $300 per person and must be reserved and paid for in advance. In addition, a limited number of reserved tables are available. Some junior tickets are available at $100. For invitations, tickets and information, call the U.S. office of the Gennadius Library at (609) 683-0800 ext. 14. Estiatorio Milos is located at 125 West 55th Street. The 2007 Zagat Survey lauds Milos' impeccable Greek cooking with fish just pulled from the sea.

Thomas There is a book by George Horton "Modern Athens" which desscribes things c.1900 and which is illustrated with charming period drawings, including some of Greek Kafenia of the period.

Info needed on Greek food

by thomas mantzakides

I was wondering if anyone can help with accessing some of the the following for a project I am working with others on. 2 photographs: 1 of upper-class Greeks eating a meal c. 1900-1930 in Greece; and 1 of peasant Greeks eating a meal, same time period. I want to have a label that mentions that what you ate was determined by economics and class and need a way to illustrate it. I have had no luck tracking down anything that would fit the bill. Another missing piece is that I need to find a way to illustrate the idea of fasting. I was hoping that some kind of calendar might exist that shows when periods of religious fasts are or perhaps a pamphlet from the church that advises people on fasts. Foods associated with specific holidays or events We would like to create a PowerPoint presentation that includes images to represent things like the special foods served at funerals or for mourning, the specific breads baked for special holidays, etc. We have a book called something like "Greek American Traditions and Custom" that is chock full of this info. What we don't have are images. In the end, I can scan any images and put together the PowerPoint but I just don't have time to figure out where and how to get them (can these be in any cookbooks? is there some treasure trove of historic photos?) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reply to Nephakes query from Aristotle University

by Claudine Dervou

Dear Mr. Leich, My colleagues that deal with Modern Greek Studies told me that: Unfortunately there is no English translation of Nikitas Nephakes poems.He was a local poet of Mane. There are 6 books about Nephakes, but all are in greek. Best regards, Claudine On Wed, 10 Jan 2007, cohsl-list-request(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu wrote: > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
