Libraries in the Aegean

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Since this mailing list does not digest Greek script very well I am including a [very rough] English version done through Google translate June S ================== http://www.bookpress.gr/multipress/teleutaia-nea/vivliothikesaigaio# Aegean Libraries in the Aegean FRIDAY, 26 OCTOBER 2012 14:49 Aegean University took a few months ago the initiative to establish lending libraries to the widest possible circulation of books among members of the academic community. Operating conditions and lending is different and simpler than the standard libraries. The rationale is equally simple and summed up by a slogan, suggestion and simultaneously reminder: "He came back with. I belong to everyone. " The dean of the University of the Aegean, Paris Tsartas, urges support the initiative through the following open letter: "Just because we believe that the book is something very important ... We would like to inform you about the effort that began in 2011 at the Aegean University to create the University Libraries Literary Foundation Units. The entire academic community (students, teaching and administrative staff) will have the opportunity to borrow books, mainly Greek and contemporary world literature, history and political monographs and return them to mediate the classic lending process. There is no record of people who borrow books nor loan period. Record books will be found in libraries, on the inside cover of which is stamp will indicate: "He returned with. I belong to everyone. " The main objective of this action is to enhance both the presence of literary books in our everyday life, the cultivation of filanagnosias and a sense of responsibility to return the book without any commitments. The University of the Aegean is one polynisiotiko Foundation, which operates in six islands of the Aegean (Mytilene, Chios, Samos, Rhodes, Syros and Lemnos). In 27 years of operation, managed to create and maintain a high quality, distinguished, internationalized and competitive environment studies, earning his academic presence, an important position among the Greek and European Universities. With 18 Departments and 28 Postgraduate Courses, managed to bring substantial research and culture through the development of modern and innovative interdisciplinary subjects which meet both the expectations of students / of three and the demands of society, research and labor market. In this context, we would like to ask your help both in supplying books and communicating the message, where you think there would be a response. Choose books that no longer serve you and help us create the Literary University Libraries. Unfortunately, there is no financial ability to purchase the books for your own contribution is very important and crucial. We remain at your disposal and our affiliates (Mrs. E. Broomsticks tel: 22510 36171, and others. Dede I. 210 64 9210 2) for further clarification.

Athens - a brave new publisher !!!

by KALAMOS BOOKS

This is all I know about this venture - I will report as soon as I get more information June S ========================= Pilotless Press Paper plane A paper plane landed in our hands. We noticed writing on the paper and quickly unfolded it to see what was inside. Today at 6 d.o.g.s. bar, Pilotpress Press, an independent micropress company, is launching its first edition, "The Mundane History of Lockwood Heights." The three creators behind Pilotpress Press sought to publish the short story by Allen Kechagiar and ended up founding a publishing house that prints chapbooks (pocket size booklets) in English. Fresh off the press, we eagerly delved into our own limited edition chapbook (one of 300!). This hush-hush launch kicks off at 20:30—hurry and get your own copy of the "The Mundane History of Lockwood Heights!" P.S. The Pilotless Press intends to continue its journey of publishing short stories by Greek authors in English.

Tod-Oirat-Old Kalmyk Romanization Table Approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Tod-Oirat-Old Kalmyk Romanization Table Approved The ALA-LC Romanization tables are developed jointly by the Library of Congress (LC) and the American Library Association (ALA). Romanization schemes enable the cataloging of foreign language materials. Romanized cataloging in turn supports circulation, acquisitions, serials check-in, shelflisting, shelving, and reference, particularly in library catalogs that are unable to display non-roman alphabet information. The ALCTS Committee on Cataloging: Asian and African Materials (CC:AAM) recently received and reviewed a proposal for new Tod-Oirat-Old Kalmyk romanization table. The table has subsequently been approved. The Tod-Oirat-Old Kalmyk romanization table is now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html>. Please direct any questions about romanization tables to Bruce Johnson, Policy and Standards Division (bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov>). Bruce Chr.

GREEK PUBLISHING IN ISTANBUL

by KALAMOS BOOKS

http://eu.greekreporter.com/2012/10/22/greek-publishing-house-comes-to-ista… Greek Publishing House in Istanbul’s Next Book By Christina Flora on October 22, 2012 In Culture, Turkey Istos, the first Greek publishing house in Istanbul in 50 years, begun by a group of seven Greeks and Turks, has released a new Greek language novel, Postponements and Descents (Anavoles kai Katiforoi,) A review appeared in the Radikal newspaper on Oct. 13. The novel, translated from Turkish by Tim Drayton, is the story of two people from the 1964 generation, Dimitris and Giorgios, who were thrown out thrown out as part of by the Turkish government of many Greeks. It was seen as a move involving the crisis in Cyprus. It is about remaining rootless, being unable to settle in, not being ‘local’ and the inability to feel at home. The two, destined to remain foreign wherever they go, appear to lead suspended lives thanks to decisions which are postponed. Their lives, full of indecision, take them willy-nilly on an ever downward descent. Istos said it wants to publish more Greek language books to support the growing demand in Turkey to learn Greek. Its first book by an Istanbul Greek, Dositheos Anagnostopoulos, the Orthodox Patriarchate spokesman, related to the problems the Greeks of Turkey had to face upon their arrival in Greece in the 1960′s.

Post-doctoral Research Fellows, Univ of Birmingham

by KALAMOS BOOKS

--- 3 x Research Fellows - Collaborative EuropeaN Digital/Archival Infrastructure (CENDARI) University of Birmingham - College of Arts and Law - School of History and Cultures Starting salary £27,578 a year, in a range up to £35,938 a year, with potential progression to £38,140 a year The School of History and Cultures at the University of Birmingham seeks to appoint 3 Postdoctoral Research Fellows for three years to work on an EU-funded international collaborative project (Collaborative EuropeaN Digital/Archival Infrastructure - CENDARI). CENDARI will provide and facilitate access to existing archives and resources in Europe for the study of medieval and modern European history through the development of an 'enquiry environment'. This environment will increase access to records of historic importance across the European Research Area, creating a powerful new platform for accessing and investigating historical data in a transnational fashion overcoming the national and institutional data silos that now exist. It will leverage the power of the European infrastructure for Digital Humanities (DARIAH) bringing these technical experts together with leading historians and existing research infrastructures (archives, libraries and individual digital projects) within a programme of technical research informed by cutting edge reflection on the impact of the digital age on scholarly practice. Two domains have been chosen as case studies to develop this flexible research environment, in the first instance for historical research, but easily adaptable in future for other humanities domains. The first case study will be in the area of First World War studies, a timely area of research as we are fast approaching the centenary of this pan-European conflict that is already generating much interest from academics to the general public across Europe. The second case study will focus on medieval history in the creation of an Atlas of Medieval Cultures that will develop new paradigms from which to investigate and bridge linguistic, cultural and spatial boundaries. We are therefore looking for historians of Europe to join an international and interdisciplinary team of scholars including historians, archivists and librarians, e-science and digital humanities specialists. The post holders will have a PhD in European History (or equivalent), be fluent in English and in another European language at least. They will be able to demonstrate their capacity to operate successfully in an interdisciplinary, international and multilingual research environment. The post holders will work with the Principal Investigator, Dr Pierre Purseigle, on several work packages including "Training and Transnational Access Coordination", "Methodology and Archive User Requirements", "Investigation and Description of Archives", "Research Processes and System Architecture", and "Research Spaces". For informal enquiries, please contact Dr Pierre Purseigle at the Department of History, School of History and Cultures, The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TT.

NEW Greek refugees in Czechoslovakia

by KALAMOS BOOKS

New book just published in the Czech Republic Konstantinos Tsivos Řecká emigrace v Československu (1948-1968) - Od jednoho rozštěpení ke druhému Teritoria, svazek 12. Dokoran. Prague Oct 15/2012 ------------------- Konstantinos Tsivos Greek emigration in Czechoslovakia (1948-1968) - From one split to another [Territories Series, Volume 12] Paperback, 155 x 220, 278 pages, 7 images, ISBN 978-80-7363-404-9, EAN 9788073634049, First published 15 October 2012. The present study introduces a historical Czech reader with hitherto little explored problem - the emergence and forming Greek emigration in Czechoslovakia. It focuses primarily on monitoring political life of emigration, which was closely associated with the Communist Party of Greece. Special emphasis is then placed in the publication to the question of identity formation of immigrants in relation to the effects of two splitting Greek communists during the de-Stalinization and subsequently during the Prague Spring. The themes, such as the question of repatriation of Greek immigrants, are examined in the political and socio-cultural level in the context of political developments in Greece and Czechoslovakia. Published in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Sciences.
