---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mark Samuels Lasner <marksl(a)udel.edu> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 18:24:15 -0400 MEDIAMORPHOSIS: PRINT CULTURE AND TRANSATLANTIC PUBLIC SPHERE(S), 1880-1940 University of Delaware, September 9-10, 2011 www.udel.edu/mediamorphosis This two–day symposium will provide a forum for literary scholars, historians, media historians, and art historians to share works–in–progress on the transformations of print media and transatlantic public spheres at the turn of the twentieth century. The symposium will: · advance understanding of print culture's role in this period's movements for racial, class, and gender equality and of the relationship between print culture, empire, and cross-cultural (transatlantic, transnational) writing, reading, and publishing; · bring the theories and methods of material culture studies to bear on the analysis of print artifacts as "objects" or "things." On view on Friday, September 9, will be "Periodicals Across the Pond," a special display drawn from the University of Delaware Library's Special Collections and from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, on loan to the University of Delaware Library. Hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences’ Interdisciplinary Humanities Research Center, this symposium is also supported by: the Center for Material Culture Studies, the Departments of Black American Studies, English, and Women’s Studies, the University of Delaware Library, the Institute for Global Studies, the University Faculty Senate Committee on Cultural Activities and Public Events (CAPE), and the Delaware Humanities Forum.

Bibliography/Library panel at October MGSA Symposium

by Leich, Harold M.

Dear colleagues, fellow librarians, bibliographers, and archivists! The preliminary program for the October symposium of the Modern Greek Studies Association (MGSA) has come out; you may access it at: http://mgsa.org/Temp/2011sched.html The conference will be October 13-16 at New York University; details (including about hotels) are available via the MGSA website: http://www.mgsa.org/ There will be one panel devoted specifically to bibliography and library matters -- it will be on Thursday, October 13, 5.30-7.30 pm. (room to be announced later). Here is the program: Βιβλία πολλά: Library Collections and Bibliographic Projects * Michaela Karampini-Iatrou (independent scholar, Athens): "The Multiple Uses of Cavafy's Library" * Dia M. L. Philippides (Boston College): "Found in Translation: Modern Greek Literature Without Borders" * Anthony J. Oddo (Yale U.): "The Development of Modern Greek Collections at Yale" * Harold M. Leich (Library of Congress): "Developments in Modern Greek Collections and Services at the Library of Congress, 2006-2010" I have also asked the Program Committee for a time slot for a more informal meeting/discussion to talk about matters of general, practical interest: library reorganizations, budget cuts, bibliographic control, book dealers for Greece and Cyprus, collaborative projects, etc. I will post a note to the list when I know the date and time for this meeting. Please seriously consider attending the 2011 Symposium of the Association; it would be nice to have a good turnout of bibliographers, librarians, and archivists for this event. Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Harry Leich
