Cypriot vendor

by Leich, Harold M.

Dear Colleagues, LC's acquisitions people have recently expressed concern about the performance of MAM, LC's long-time Cypriot approval plan vendor. Issues include their sending invoices for materials that are never received, and sending duplicates of materials already provided in earlier shipments. I volunteered to ask the CoHSL group about their experiences, if any, with MAM as a vendor and approval plan dealer; please let me have any comments you may have. As far as I know, MAM is the only real option for Cypriot publications -- is anybody aware of any others? Thanks, and best regards to all, Harry

Modern Greek history in the digital domain: preserving, displaying and teaching the past

by KALAMOS BOOKS

http://www.latsis-foundation.org/default.asp?pid=103&la=2#1.1 1. Modern Greek history in the digital domain: preserving, displaying and teaching the past Project's team: Effi Gazi (Coordinator, University of the Peloponnese), Antonis Liakos (University of Athens), Dimitrios Bilalis (University of Thessaly), Eleni Kommata, Stelios Kymionis (Hellenic National Audiovisual Archive) The study focuses on scholarly projects and on public history manifestations of Modern Greek history in the digital domain. Its scope is twofold: a. to compile a reliable database in both the Greek and English languages of digital archival sources, digital bibliographical material and audiovisual resources on Modern Greek History which will be useful for both scientific and educational purposes and b. to explore the public history of modern Greece in the digital domain with a particular emphasis on life stories, family and local histories in an attempt to unravel the public uses of the past. By combining the two areas of research, the study aims at compiling a comprehensive guide of Modern Greek history in the digital domain and at providing a thorough analysis of the multifaceted reality of digital technologies and visual media with reference to the representation of Modern Greek history. ------------------------------------------------ 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

Digital CIL

by Rebecka Lindau

<http://arachne.uni-koeln.de/drupal/?q=en/node/291> *Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum: Digital CIL <http://arachne.uni-koeln.de/drupal/?q=en/node/291>* <http://arachne.uni-koeln.de/drupal/?q=en/node/291> This site provides online access to the volumes currently out of copyright of *Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (CIL)*, the corpus of ancient Roman inscriptions. This digitized version of the *CIL* will initially comprise the more than 50 parts (vols. I-XVI + auctaria and v. I, editio altera) published before 1940 and be made accessible in *Arachne*, the central object database of the German Archaeological Institute and the Archaeological Institute of the University of Cologne. *Arachne* is headed by Reinhard Foertsch. The pages of text and inscriptions can be searched via imperfect OCR recognition. We hope to make the retrieval of inscription and page numbers as well as titles more precise as the work progresses. To learn more and to access the resource, please consult the *Arachne *database ( http://arachne.uni-koeln.de/drupal/?q=en/node/291).* Digital CIL* is a joint project of the American Academy in Rome, l’École française de Rome, and das Deutsches Archäologisches Institut.
