invitation to contribute to Ancient World Open Bibliographies

by Phoebe Acheson

(apologies for cross-posting; feel free to distribute further) Announcing the Ancient World Open Bibliographies Project Our Goal: To provide an online destination for students and scholars seeking bibliographies about the ancient world. In the modern academy, sometimes too much information is as thorny a problem as too little. The Ancient World Open Bibliographies seeks to provide annotated bibliographies on specific subjects that serve as an introduction to students or to scholars exploring a new area of research. We will also link to existing open-access bibliographical resources online. Open Access: The project is currently hosted at a dedicated wiki ( http://ancientbibliographies.libs.uga.edu/ ), with duplication using the (free) bibliographic citation management software Zotero (see our group library here: http://www.zotero.org/groups/ancient_world_open_bibliographies). It is open access and covered by a Creative Commons license. Scope: Geographically, we cover Europe, Asia, and Africa. Temporally, we cover prehistory through ca. 700 CE. Right now the project is richest in Classical, Near Eastern, and Egyptian Studies, but we welcome broader contributions within our scope. How Can You Help? - Create an annotated bibliography on a topic of your expertise. - Contribute an existing bibliography you have assembled on a topic – perhaps one you use for your own work, or distribute to students. - Add a link to an existing online bibliography you use. - Encourage your colleagues and students to participate by creating and sharing their own bibliographies; for example, consider whether the creation of an collaborative annotated bibliography would work as a class assignment. Bibliographies or links can be emailed (see contact info below) or feel free to edit the wiki, adding a link or a new page (see details on how to do the latter at http://ancientbibliographies.libs.uga.edu/wiki/How_To_Contribute). Emailed bibliographies in most formats will work: .doc, .pdf, .ris or other export from EndNote/Refworks/Zotero/etc. Questions, or Want to Contribute? Visit the wiki or blog or contact Phoebe Acheson (University of Georgia Libraries, pacheson(a)uga.edu ) or Chuck Jones (Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, NYU, cejo(a)uchicago.edu ).

Recent study of strategies to increase the scale of digitization, for research and access

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Schaffner,Jennifer" <schaffnj(a)oclc.org> Date: Wed, 11 May 2011 12:45:14 -0400 Rapid Capture: Faster Throughput in Digitization of Special Collections This report provides examples of how to simplify and streamline digital capture of non-book collections. Nine case studies illustrate processes and procedures institutions have adopted to speed up digitization of special collections. The intent in sharing these vignettes is to enable others to consider whether or not any of the approaches could be applied to their own initiatives to increase the scale of their digitization efforts. Those featured in the case studies include: * Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution * Archives of Traditional Music, Indiana University * Prints & Photographs Division, Library of Congress * Digital Collection Unit, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley * Southern Regional Library Facility, University of California, Los Angeles * Archives and Special Collections, University of Minnesota * University Archives, University of Minnesota * Southern Historical Collection, University of North Carolina, and * Department of Manuscripts and Rare Books, The Walters Art Museum While the report details a variety of implementations, if your institution has or had a large-scale digitization initiative that included rapid capture of non-book formats, we'd like to hear about it. Please contact Ricky_Erway(a)oclc.org. This report is the latest in a series of OCLC Research reports about how to increase access to special collections that have resulted from our work under the thematic focus of Mobilizing Unique Materials. * Rapid Capture: Faster Throughput in Digitization of Special Collections [http://www.oclc.org/research/publications/library/2011/2011-04.pdf] ================================= 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 http://kalamosb.alibrisstore.com/ http://www.antiqbook.com/books/bookseller.phtml/kal
