Colleagues--
Our subscription to the TLG is up for renewal and the price they have
quoted is significantly higher than the last contract--in fact it is a
600% increase. Has this been the case with others as well? I would be
very grateful for any helpful information that I can bring back to my
e-resources people. If people know of alternatives to this resource,
please do share. If you would prefer to write to me off-line, please do
so and your responses will remain confidential.
Many thanks in advance,
Rhea

I'm forwarding this call for participation for a cataloguing and
bibliographic initiative organized by Brown University Library and the
Center for Research Libraries. Please share this information with
anyone who might be able to help out.

Colleagues--
I'd like to draw your attention to a new cataloging and bibliographic
initiative associated with the Modernist Journals Project. The Brown
University Library, in conjunction with the Center for Research
Libraries, has launched the Cover-to-Cover Project. It asks libraries
to survey their physical holdings of key twentieth-century magazines.
As you know, most catalogs record runs of bound periodicals, but in
the process of binding original covers, advertising pages, and even
some editorial content were discarded. As a result, there is a
considerable hole in the archive that the MJP is trying to identify
and repair with its digital editions. Doing so, however, means
identifying institutions that actually hold undamaged runs of
magazines.
You can find a more complete description of this project online here:
https://wiki.brown.edu/confluence/display/library/Modernist+Journals+Projec…
I hope you'll take a look at this site, urge your own libraries to
participate, and share this link with other librarians and archivists
who might be able to assist us.
If you are unfamiliar with the Modernist Journals Project, you can
visit it here: www.modjourn.org.
Thanks,
Sean

Interesting book from Australia ....
THE GANGSTERS : A Cypriot novella by Lefkios Zafiriou,
translated from the Greek with an introduction and notes by Stathis Gauntlett
At a time when the reunification of Cyprus and Cypriots is thought to be
achievable, Lefkios Zafiriou's highly acclaimed and controversial work of
autobiographical fiction "The Gangsters" is more relevant than ever. Set in
the now almost mythical times when ordinary Greek and Turkish Cypriots
shared the privations of life in a neglected British colony, the novella
engages robustly with issues of great sensitivity to all Cypriots, right
from its title through to the last words on the final page. The original
Greek version was awarded a state prize for fiction and hailed as something
new in Cypriot literature; this extensively annotated translation can serve
as a starting point for an understanding of the uniquely tortured story of
modern Cyprus.
Published by DELPHIC ORACLE PRESS, MELBOURNE in November 2005
ISBN 0-9758395-0-0 92 pp. (incl. map and timeline); soft cover.
( Translation of: Oi symmorites. Nicosia, Cyprus : Roptro, 1982.)
NOTE : WorldCat did not list any copies outside Australia

The current electronic catalogue of the Greek Bibliography of the 19th
century <http://www.benaki.gr/bibliology/en/19.htm> constitutes the first
overall "card classification repository"
in electronic of a work-in-progress: the first codification and concise
presentation of entries gathered by the
"Philippos Iliou" Bibliology Workshop at the Benaki
Museum<http://www.benaki.gr/bibliology/en/index.htm>concerning Greek
pamphlets and books that have been recorded in the
bibliographical sources.
The retrospective Greek national bibliography of the 19th century is a
collective work, as every ambitious bibliography project, based on
the long preparatory work undertaken by distinguished scholars and
bibliographers. Its foundations were lain by the three-volume
Greek Bibliography 1800-1863, by Dimitrios Ghinis and Valerios Mexas
(Academy of Athens, 1939-1957), in combination with successive series of
addenda over the same period, which were introduced by C. Th.
Dimaras<http://books.google.com/books?id=p3GHlQL9mbAC>from the pages
of the journal "Eranistis"
(a periodical publication of the Society for the Study of the Greek
Enlightenment).
The work was later taken up mainly by the Institute for Neohellenic Research
of the National Hellenic Research Foundation<http://www.eie.gr/index-en.html>

On another list where the topic of preserving and repairing microfilm
was discussed
the possibility of digitizing it came up, and there was this

There are such specialised microfilm scanners indeed. Although I am
not a specialist on the subject, at the St.John's Theologian Monastery
in Patmos, Greece we have a similar problem to Rebecca's, only that
financial difficulties do not allow us to solve. Digitizing microfilms
is not that cheap. For a quick microfilm scanning it costs about
120euro per microfilm (35mm, 600frames each) so for our small
collection of 300 microfilms it comes around 45,000euros. There are
also slower and less automated microfilm scanners that are cheaper to
buy (about 5,000euros), but you would need many months of work, as
well as training, to produce what could be done in one week with a
quick, automated scanner. Then one should estimate the extra cost of
setting up an electronic database and the hardware set-up for
supporting and reproducing the digitized material. Yet, for any active
library with a high demand by readers I think that this is so much
worth it.
At the same time I agree with Miriam Kahn that you should keep the
master copies stored and work on copies made from them.

Of course if anyone in Greece has any funds or equipment
to help Patmos (or any sources of same ?) that might be nice ......

This is a reminder and a notice that the survey will be closing on July
13th, so please consider taking a few minutes to participate if you have not
yet done so!
Rare books and special collections colleagues,
In preparation for the publication of our book, tentatively titled Special
Collections 2.0, we are looking for your responses to a series of questions
about special collections, archives, and Web 2.0 technologies. We anticipate
the survey will take you about 7-10 minutes to complete, depending on your
answers. We appreciate your thoughts, insights, and contributions! Please
also share this link with others who you think might like to participate, as
we are hoping for a broad response from the cultural heritage community.
http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB227U3ARBQA4
Thank you for your time and participation.
