by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Spyros Kakouriotis <spykad(a)yahoo.com> Date: 2009/6/24 Ο Σύνδεσμος Ελληνικών Ακαδημαϊκών Βιβλιοθηκών (Σ.Ε.Α.Β./HEAL-Link) σας πληροφορεί ότι, παρά τις επανειλημμένες υποσχέσεις του Υπουργείου, δεν έχουν ολοκληρωθεί οι διαδικασίες χρηματοδότησης της οριζόντιας δράσης των ακαδημαϊκών βιβλιοθηκών συμπεριλαμβανομένων των συνδρομών στα ηλεκτρονικά περιοδικά για την τριετία 2009-2011. Αποτέλεσμα του γεγονότος αυτού είναι η διακοπή της πρόσβασης των Ελληνικών Α.Ε.Ι. (Πανεπιστημίων και Τ.Ε.Ι.) και Ερευνητικών Ιδρυμάτων της χώρας σε περισσότερους από 9.000 τίτλους επιστημονικών ηλεκτρονικών περιοδικών. Οι συνέπειες της διακοπής της πρόσβασης των ελληνικών ακαδημαϊκών και ερευνητικών ιδρυμάτων στα ηλεκτρονικά περιοδικά, ύστερα από 10 χρόνια αδιάλειπτης παροχής της υπηρεσίας αυτής, θα είναι ολέθριες για την υποστήριξη της έρευνας και της εκπαίδευσης στη χώρα μας, σε μια εποχή κατά την οποία η καινοτομία και η πρόσβαση στην πληροφορία αποτελούν βασική προϋπόθεση για την πρόοδο μιας χώρας. Ο ΣΕΑΒ συγκεντρώνει υπογραφές για άσκηση επιπλέον πίεσης προς το Υπουργείο, ώστε να ολοκληρωθούν το ταχύτερο οι διαδικασίες χρηματοδότησης. Ζητάμε: Άμεση εξασφάλιση της χρηματοδότησης και υπογραφή των συμβάσεων.

Conservation on Line (CoOL)

by KALAMOS BOOKS

From: AIC American Institute for Conservation (AIC) conservation-us.org Sent: Friday, June 19, 2009 10:34 AM To: Karen E Brown Subject: CoOL is Coming to AIC CoOL is Coming to AIC! Having reviewed a proposal from AIC and following several discussions, Stanford University Libraries has decided that AIC will be given responsibility for CoOL and the Conservation DistList. The transfer of content from the Stanford servers will take place immediately with expert guidance from Walter Henry, John Burke, and technicians at Stanford. Our first goal is to have the DistList operational as soon as possible. Watch for one or more announcements on the DistList for periodic updates regarding the resumption of activity. Other CoOL resources will come online under new URLs as expeditiously as possible. AIC is pleased to be entrusted with these invaluable resources and for the opportunity to sustain and develop them into the future. Our goal is to keep CoOL and the Distlist safe, viable, objective, and accessible for the conservation community worldwide. Thank you for your support of this major initiative. - AIC Executive Director Eryl Wentworth and the AIC Board of Directors ============================================================ 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 (or) kalamosbks(a)aol.com www.kalamosbooks.com -- 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

Symposium - Sustaining Digital Resources in the Humanities

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Sebastiaan Verweij <sv302(a)cam.ac.uk> Date: Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 4:14 AM ***'Sustaining Digital Resources in the Humanities'*** Monday 6 July 2009 Faculty of English, Cambridge Sustainability informs the conception and the construction of online manuscript research; it is widely agreed (by funding bodies and those involved in online work) that online resources should be made sustainable. This requirement demands co-operation between faculties and universities, between libraries and archives, between academic and technical staff, but often exposes different understandings of what sustainability means, and how it can best be achieved in the short and long terms. This one-day symposium will bring together experts from manuscript study and digital research, from libraries, digital repositories and humanities IT, for collaborative discussion of sustainability in its various contexts. We aim to raise and discuss the issues involved not only in the technical sustainability of online resources, but also in their academic sustainability - how they can be adapted in the light of later scholarship and research. How can and should we incorporate sustainability issues into the design and construction of academic or research-related resources? How do we plan and create resources not only technically durable, but intellectually durable? What are the factors, academic and technological, affecting the sustainability of new electronic resources? How can resources grow and develop after their periods of design and funding have ended? Are there strategies that allow for their development, as well as their maintenance? What developments in online manuscript research, or in IT, should we anticipate in planning for the sustainability, and the future, of our resources? Anyone wishing to attend, or with any questions about the symposium, should contact Angus Vine (aev21(a)cam.ac.uk). -- Dr Sebastiaan Verweij Research Associate Scriptorium: Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Online http://scriptorium.english.cam.ac.uk Faculty of English 9 West Road Cambridge e-mail: sv302(a)cam.ac.uk

Conservation OnLine No Longer Being Supported - Thank You

by KALAMOS BOOKS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Date: 10 Jun 2009 From: Catherine Tierney <ctierney [at] stanford__edu> Subject: CoOL and the Conservation DistList Dear Colleagues, This is a difficult posting to write. For twenty two years, it has been Stanford University Libraries' great pleasure to serve and support the conservation community by hosting Conservation OnLine. Sadly, Stanford---like so many other institutions---has been hurt by the economy. As a result, we have had to make difficult choices. It is with deep regret that I inform you that we are no longer able to support CoOL. We feel it is important to alert you to this change as we are aware that so many of you rely on the distribution list as a medium of communication; there are still a number of things to be worked out. <http://news.stanford.edu/news/2009/june17/layoffs-061709.html> Catherine Tierney Associate University Librarian for Technical Services Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources ------------------------------ Date: 10 Jun 2009 From: Walter Henry <request [at] cool__stanford__edu> Subject: CoOL and the Conservation DistList It has been a great pleasure and privilege to work with this community and I look forward to finding ways to continue to do so. I've always held that conservation professionals were, as a class, unusually committed to the cause they serve; we really do care deeply about the cultural materials we are lucky enough to work with, and that care takes form in a remarkable dedication to the profession, to the ethical foundations upon which it is built, and to the community of practitioners from whatever discipline or specialty. So, at the beginning of what would have been the DistList's twenty third year it is with great sadness, but also with some sense of pride, that I finally give up this enterprise and that of Conservation OnLine as a whole. I don't know exactly what will happen to the resources here but I have every faith that their fate will be in good hands. I would like to thank, with all sincerity, Stanford University Libraries and Academic Information Resources, my own department, the systems and IT staff, and most of all the directorate, who have been unfalteringly supportive of my work all these years, and I know would continue to be so were the world in just a little better shape than it is now. As DistList tradition demands, I leave you a final accounting: As of this day, the Conservation DistList comprises 9696 people from at least 91 countries. Conservation OnLine contains, at a very rough guess, 120,000 documents, possibly quite a few more. I hope they have been useful to you all, and I hope to be of service to you as we move into the future. onward, walter *************************** Peter D.

Virtual Library of Medieval Mss.

by KALAMOS BOOKS

SD 2/17/09: "Virtual Library Of Medieval Manuscripts Created" Excerpt: "Searching [with Google] for medieval manuscripts gets you millions of hits, most of which have nothing to do with manuscripts, and when they do, they usually feature only images of a single page rather than the entire book,' said Matthew Fisher, an assistant professor of English at UCLA. 'Since finding these great projects is so tough, they're functionally invisible.' Fisher set out two years ago to remedy the situation. With the assistance of two graduate students in English, a computer developer from UCLA's Center for Digital Humanities and Christopher Baswell, a former UCLA professor of English, Fisher decided to collect links to every manuscript from the eighth to the 15th century that had been fully digitized by any library, archive, institute or private owner anywhere in the world. In December 2008, the group launched the initial results. The UCLA-based Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts now links to nearly 1,000 manuscripts by 193 authors in 20 languages from 59 libraries around the world, allowing users to flit from England to France to Switzerland to the United States ‹ to name the locations of just a few of the featured repositories ‹ with the click of a mouse."
