CFP IFLA World Library and Information Congress 2016 (Columbus, OH, USA)

by KALAMOS BOOKS

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Daryl Green <dtg4(a)st-andrews.ac.uk> Date: Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 6:31 PM [apologies for cross-posting] *"Theft in libraries – facing the hidden truth"* The IFLA Rare Books and Special Collections Section <http://www.ifla.org/rare-books-and-special-collections> and the Preservation and Conservation Core Activity <http://www.ifla.org/pac>invites interested professionals to submit proposals for this open session to be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA from 13-19 August 2016. Theft in libraries and archives, by staff as well as outsiders, is an ever present problem many institutions face. The session aims are to highlight the importance of recording thefts internationally with the aim to de-stigmatise the reporting of thefts (something which still many libraries will not make publicly aware). It will also look at methods of raising public awareness towards provenance of cultural heritage items, and to continue to build bridges between the curatorial and commercial arms of the cultural heritage profession. We therefore invite proposals for papers which outline theft incidents within libraries and archives in recent years, particularly from collections which have experienced theft incidents, in order to set the scene for the overall session and help to de-stigmatise the reporting of theft in libraries. The session will be comprised of three presentations from recent incidents of library or archive theft and then a panel discussion on the topic which will include the presenters of the three papers as well as invited respondents from the curatorial, commercial and legal spheres of cultural heritage. More information and instructions on submitting an abstract here <http://2016.ifla.org/cfp-calls/rare-books-and-special-collections-joint-wit…>. Call for papers closes *29 February 2016*. *"Quality management and preservation in the age of mass processing"* The IFLA Preservation and Conservation Section <http://www.ifla.org/preservation-and-conservation> joint with Rare Books and Special Collections Section <http://www.ifla.org/rare-books-and-special-collections> and Audiovisual and Multimedia Section <http://www.ifla.org/avms> invites interested professionals to submit proposals for the open session to be held in Columbus, Ohio, USA from 13-19 August 2016. In many institutions, preservation (physical and digital) plays an increasingly important role, and the efforts in terms of staffing and investment in this area are rising. But what about the performance review, both in terms of measures applied (which are often carried out with external service providers), as well as in terms of the internal library processes themselves. The need to replace single item workshop-related conservation by production-wise batch processing becomes evident in any large-scale programs from digitization to mass deacidification. However, pre-image capture conservation preparation and any post-mass production housing needed at the conclusion of the project are still part of the workflow. Mass production still involves single item review, stabilization and conservation. How should these processes be organized, what tools are necessary and in use, what standards are available? How do libraries solve the problem of systematic documentation and single item tracking? How will heritage institutions manage the increasing requirements with no extra provision of resources? More information and instructions on submitting an abstract here <http://2016.ifla.org/cfp-calls/preservation-and-conservation-section-joint-…>.

Deseret Romanization Table Approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Deseret 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: Description and Access (CC:DA) recently received and reviewed a proposal for a new Deseret romanization table. The table has subsequently been approved. The Deseret romanization table is 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, LC Policy and Standards Division (bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov>). Bruce Chr.

New Democracy Manifesto 1976

by KALAMOS BOOKS

The news item below invites scholars to contribute their ideas to the development of a new manifesto for New Democracy. I have a document that outlines the ideology of the Party as it was developed in 1976, after the fall of the Junta, that might be an interesting place to start Kallia, Konstantinou M He Ideologia tis Neas Demokratias, Athenai. Martios 1976 Only 4 copies in Worldcat - see here : http://www.worldcat.org/title/ideologia-tes-neas-demokratias/oclc/10341650&… --------------------------------- http://www.ekathimerini.com/206061/article/ekathimerini/news/new-democracy-… NEWS 16.02.2016 : 22:54 New Democracy calls for volunteers to help draft party manifesto New Democracy has sent out an open invitation to non-party officials to help draft the conservatives’ governing manifesto. The call for academics, professionals and executives to come forward to contribute voluntarily to the process of compiling the policy program is aimed at making New Democracy more approachable to new voters as well as injecting new blood into the party. Those interested in contributing to the process have been asked to send their CVs to the conservatives by February 23. The only criteria are that the applicants must have a postgraduate degree, excellent knowledge of English and “top communication skills.” “New Democracy does not want to limit itself to the opinion of our own party members – their contribution is going to be valuable anyway,” said the party’s joint vice president Costis Hatzidakis on Tuesday. “We want to open up to universities, to the market, to society and to worthy Greeks who will be able to contribute toward the creation of a modern and reliable program that incorporates the best European practices,” he added. ------------------------------------ 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

Cyprus Update

by KALAMOS BOOKS

The recent query about Cyprus led me to check into my files There was an interesting book about Cyprus as it was in in 1954 published a few years ago in the UK [Only 1 copy is listed in WorldCat] The author has now issued a new, updated edition with more photographs This was the original : *Chamberlain, Richard. Cyprus Scenes and Way of Life in 1954 . * UKCollective Colour, 2010. 1st UK Edition. ISBN: 095656190X. In 1954 Richard Chamberlain and his twin brother were conscripted into the British Army and sent off for duty in Cyprus.The teenager has never before been outside England. He took an old 127 camera and " As soon as we arrived I started photographing the Cypriot people and way of life," ….The pictures taken more than 50 years ago on black and white film, exert a strong nostalgic pull....most potent of all is the evocation of a lost era. The photographs tell of a way of life less frenetic than today, when people had time to stop and chat and the pretty beaches hadn't fully been exploited by developers. Significant changes in society hadn't yet fully manifested themselves, either - though they were on the way and would all too quickly have an impact. In 1954, the beautiful island was still a single entity... And here is the updated version: *Chamberlain, Richard. Cyprus Scenes and Way of Life in 1954 and 60 years later in 2014. *UK: Collective Colour, 2014. 1st UK Edition. Soft Cover. New Book from Publisher This book is the second edition of Richard Chamberlain's collection of photos taken in 1954/55 while serving as a National Serviceman. He has returned to Cyprus to revisit the same locations, where possible, and to photograph the same scenes he saw 60 years before. The earlier pictures were taken around Famagusta in Northern Cyprus before the island was partitioned in 1974. This paperback edition is both black and white and colour. You can see a YouTube video about an exhibit of his delightful pictures here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7DJugIpVSg June S ---------------------------------------- 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

women in Cyprus in the 1960s - 1970s

by June P. Farris

From: June P. Farris Sent: Thursday, February 18, 2016 12:50 PM To: cohsl-list(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu Subject: women in Cyprus in the 1960s - 1970s Dear Colleagues, I received the following email (and list of questions) from a professor at Drew University, and have her permission to forward her queries to you. The topics/questions are very broad-based—each could be a dissertation of its own! I’ve sent her some suggestions, particularly about laws and labor legislation in Cyprus and the LC country reports for Cyprus, etc., but questions 1-3 are so broad, I barely knew where to begin, particularly since we have a small Greek collection, and definitely nothing “special” about Cyprus. If you think you might be able to help her (at least from the Greek side), please contact her directly. She does read Greek and has a translator for anything useful that might be in Turkish. I tried adding the text of the 4 questions she’d like to answer, but it made the email message too large for our listserve. If you think you’d like to work on this query, I can send you her detailed list of questions separately. Many thanks. June Dear June: My goal is to be published by The Journal of Cyprus Studies. In order to provide a balanced presentation I must include more information about the northern part of Cyprus. The journal has accepted the article pending more research and revisions. All four questions pertain to the status of women in northern Cyprus. The answers must be from the point of view of women who lived in northern Cyprus during the post-colonial decade: 1960-1970. However, there may be government documents or books and articles by intellectuals and academics that reveal the effect of the presence of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force on the Cyprus economy and welfare (particularly the health and education of women) during the post-colonial decade. For example, was there an improvement in the longevity of women after UNFICYP arrived? The answer to this question would be a salient point. My article covers these ten years only. The article entitled, "The Profound Transformation from Poverty to Professionalism of Cypriot Women a a Consequence of the Transition to Paid Work" is based on a chapter in my dissertation (which is online) -- Cyprus,1960-1970: An Intellectual History of the Cold War Toll, the United Nations, and Decolonization. Do you have any special collections on Cyprus? Thank you in advance. Best regards, Dr. Margaret W. Bartlett, Doctor of Letters in Historical Studies and Contemporary Studies, Drew University, 2013.
