Dear colleagues,
The Greek Embassy here in Washington has proposed a joint program with LC to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of poet Odysseas Elytis. They are looking for (a) a scholar who could give a lecture on Elytis, (b) a poet who could do a reading of selected Elytis poems (in English). Before posting to the general MGSA list, I would like to gather ideas from you all, please let me know if you have any suggestions. Given the financial state of both Greece and LC these days, it is doubtful that travel expenses can be paid.
Thanks for any ideas you can provide,

RBMS 2012 Preconference Call for Short Papers
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 15, 2011
FUTURES!
53rd Annual RBMS Preconference
San Diego, California
June 19 - 22, 2012
Planning for the 2012 RBMS Preconference is entering the final stages.
This year's theme is FUTURES! The 2012 RBMS Preconference will explore a
multiplicity of futures for the rare book, manuscript, and special
collections community. How are special collections materials being
discovered and used today? How will they be discovered and used
tomorrow? Who will our users be, and what will they need? What forms
will special collections materials take? Join us to learn, discuss,
share, and contemplate. Now is the time to shape and prepare, because
the future is now.
The Preconference will feature engaging plenaries, educational seminars,
lively discussion groups, and dynamic short paper presentations. Plenary
sessions will address three facets of our theme:
Use: Digital Humanities
Discovery: Linked Open Data
Object: Book
Clearly there are many, many more aspects of this theme to explore, so
we invite short paper submissions that address our theme in creative and
thought-provoking ways. Short papers can be broadly theoretical or
solidly practical; they can be the result of intense personal research
or the fruit of a productive collaboration.
A subcommittee of the 2012 RBMS Preconference Program Planning Committee
will review all submissions and select and organize the papers into
intellectually coherent clusters of three or four 15 to 20 minute
presentations. There will be one time slot during which four short paper
sessions will run concurrently.
Proposals of 500 words or less should be sent to Mike Kelly
(mkelly(a)amherst.edu) no later than December 15, 2011. Final selections
by the Short Papers Subcommittee will be announced early in the New
Year.
Short Papers Subcommittee:
Mike Kelly, Amherst College
Melissa Nykanen, Pepperdine University
Katie L.B. Henningsen, University of Kentucky
Karla Nielsen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
A Note on Preconference Program Planning: The process of Preconference
Programming is not always clear to newcomers to the section, and even
some who have been around for a while. The Preconference Program
Planning Committee is responsible for the overall theme and schedule of
the conference, including selecting plenary speakers and organizing
discussion sessions. Their work began at the 2011 Midwinter meeting in
San Diego. The Seminars Committee is responsible for development of
seminars that may, or may not, be directly tied to the Preconference
theme. The 2012 Preconference will feature ten seminars, some of which
have been in development for over a year. Short papers are a way to open
the Preconference to participation from a wider range of voices than may
be represented in the other sessions on a shorter timeline. Those
interested in helping to shape the 2013 Preconference, should attend the
first meeting of the 2013 Preconference Program Planning Committee
during ALA Midwinter in Dallas.
