Information Fluency Workshop: Center for Hellenic Studies

by KALAMOS BOOKS

In case you missed this on AWOL This is - as usual - courtesy of Chuck Jones! June S =============== Posted: 30 Aug 2013 09:12 AM PDT Information Fluency Workshop: Center for Hellenic Studies By Phoebe Acheson in Becoming a Classics Librarian In July I had the privilege of spending 10 days teaching a workshop on information fluency in classical studies at the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington DC. It was an incredible luxury to explore a topic in such depth, when in the past I have had at most an hour and a half to reach a group of students! I am very grateful to Kenny Morrell, who invited me to teach this class; Lanah Koelle, our program coordinator/librarian who contributed her expertise at every stage; Allie Marby, CHS’s summer interns, and librarians Temple Wright and Erika Bainbridge, who attended sessions and supported us at CHS, especially in the library; and most especially the workshop students, who gracefully accepted their role as guinea pigs and taught me a great deal. The students were a mixture on American undergraduates and Greek professionals in education and information fields; each brought an inquisitive spirit and their collective hard work and openness to sharing and new ideas was a major factor in the success of the workshop. Thank you! As a group we assembled some resources that others who are interested in this topic may find useful. The first is a Zotero group library with folders that list the session topics. Each folder’s contents include citations for assigned readings for the session (usually fairly short, web-based readings) and citations for information resources we discussed during the session. The students were asked to complete two assignments. The first, the development of an annotated bibliography, is available as a Google document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cXaPqTDdOUIzI6E26SZiOFjb7a7BMzczWOfh8qX…. The second, a WordPress Research Guide, is also described in a Google document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O3Rm8yXGlhIRPJh3PrDiMgiAgH0LiHhC44mSvq_…) and the guide itself is available via the CHS’s website. The guide should be viewed as a work in progress; we began a project that we hope to flesh out with the participants of future workshops in years to come. Librarians and scholars interested in libraries and archives in Greece will be delighted by Maria Konstantopoulou’s entry on this topic; Latin teachers can find many fun texts to use with beginning students in George Trapalis’ entry; Matina Goga has assembled a list of valuable links for the study of Greek society and culture; Brittany Profitt has done the same for Roman society and culture; teachers of Greek might want to think about using Tyler Verity’s entry on precisely defining words for a classroom exercise;Ashton Murphy’s entry on reading for research addresses study skills faculty may assume undergraduates possess when they arrive at college; and Vanessa Felso’s entry on latin dictionary resources is a model of clarity, useful for any undergraduate. Use them, and share them! -------------------------------------------- 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

Fwd: ["EXLIBRIS-L"] DEADLINE UPDATED: Internship opportunity in Rome for MLS Students

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Melissa Conway <melissa.conway(a)ucr.edu> Date: Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 11:33 AM co This notice is being posted with an updated deadline for the submission of a letter of intent.**** ** ** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *UNPAID Internship opportunity in Rome for MLS students* The library of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) in Rome, Italy is seeking interns for terms lasting from two to six months. ICCROM interns will be responsible for writing, assembling and inputting catalogue records in MARC 21 format for journal articles from worldwide conservation literature received at the ICCROM Library. Interns will be trained to use the Koha Library Database (biblio.iccrom.org) and the Library’s menu of subject keywords. The work requires familiarity with conservation topics, debates and terminology; an awareness of Library catalogues and cataloguing standards; and confidence in working in a broad range of foreign languages. Native English speakers must have a reading knowledge of a second language sufficient to translate titles into English and produce a subject analysis of an article written in that language. Attention to detail is a must. The work will be visible from the ICCROM Library catalogue, and will be an important contribution to help conservation specialists worldwide to find the literature they need for their own research. For more information and application instructions see: http://www.iccrom.org/eng/01train_en/01_02interns_en.shtml. The deadline for receipt of letters of intent for *2015 internships* is* 31 March 2014.* **** ** ** -- 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

Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian Romanization Tables Approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian Romanization Tables 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: Description and Access (CC:DA) recently received and reviewed proposals for revised Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian romanization tables. The tables have subsequently been approved. The Bulgarian, Serbian, and Macedonian romanization tables are now available for downloading from the ALA-LC Romanization Tables webpage.<http://www.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/roman.html>. 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>).
