Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Library Research Fellowship Program, 2017-2018
Thanks to generous ongoing funding from the Elios Charitable Foundation and additional funding from the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Foundation, the University Library at California State University, Sacramento is pleased to announce the continuation of the Library Research Fellowship Program to support the use of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection by fellows for scholarly research in Hellenic studies while in residence in Sacramento, CA. The Program provides a limited number of fellowships ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 to help offset transportation and living expenses incurred during the tenure of the awards and is open to external researchers anywhere in the world at the doctoral through senior scholar levels (including independent scholars) working in fields encompassed by the Collection's strengths who reside outside a 75-mile radius of Sacramento. The term of fellowships can vary between two weeks and three months, depending on the nature of the research, and for the current cycle will be tenable from July 1, 2017-June 30, 2018. The fellowship application deadline is February 24, 2017. No late applications will be considered.
Consisting of the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection is the premier Hellenic collection in the western United States and one of the largest of its kind in the country, currently numbering approximately 75,000 volumes. It comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings, electronic resources, non-print media materials, rare books, archival materials, art and artifacts. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the Collection contains early through contemporary materials across the social sciences and humanities relating to Greece, the Balkans, the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey, and the surrounding region, with particular strengths in Byzantine, post-Byzantine, and Modern Greek studies, including the Greek diaspora. There is a broad representation of over 20 languages in the Collection, with a rich assortment of primary source materials. Since 2009 the collection has experienced particularly dramatic growth through two major gift acquisitions. For further information about the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, visit http://library.csus.edu/tsakopoulos.

I am working on a collection of publications issued by Greek community
organizations. They are mostly about annual events and with directory pages
of PR from local Greek businesses who support those local groups.The
majority do relate to Toronto/Ontario/Canada, but some are about combined
US and Canadian organizations, and might be of interest.
Here are a few examples:

Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library welcomes
applications from current graduate students in library science, information
studies, preservation, archives or a related program for its newly
constituted professional fellowship program. The program has been designed
to provide practical experience to current graduate students interested in
pursuing a career in a special collections library setting.
The Beinecke Library is Yale's principal repository for literary archives,
early manuscripts, and rare books as well as strong collections of
historical materials. Its collections are internationally known and heavily
used by scholars from around the world. For further information about the
Beinecke Library, consult the library's web site at:
http://www.library.yale.edu/beinecke.
Professional fellows will work in an area of their specific interest and
have the opportunity to learn more about how special collection libraries
and major research libraries are organized and function. Professional
fellows will undertake and complete a project based on their interests and
skills, as well as the needs of the Library.
The Beinecke Library has two professional fellowships available for the
summer of 2017, and is looking to host a professional fellow in the
following areas (see the list at end for additional details):
*- Research services and teaching with special collections*
*- Rare book cataloging*
Professional fellows will work closely with staff in each of these areas
and will be integrated into the broader operations of the library through
tours, meetings with staff in the Beinecke Library and the Yale University
Library, and participation in special projects as available and necessary.
*Eligibility and requirements*
- Applicants must be current graduate students in good standing in a
library science, information studies, preservation, archives or related
program
- Applicants must have completed at least three courses before the start
date of their professional fellowship
- Applicants must commit to 10 consecutive weeks of employment between June
1st and August 31st , 2017
- At the end of the professional fellowship, fellows will be required to
submit a final report describing their experiences or participate in an
exit interview
- Applicants must be eligible to work in the U.S.
- Successful applicants will need to pass a security background check
Professional Fellows will receive a stipend of $7,500 to be used for
housing, travel and other expenses. The stipend will be divided into three
payments: upon starting, halfway through, and upon completion of the
professional fellowship.
Applicants should submit the items below by Feb. 28, 2017, with a decision
made in the beginning of April. Successful candidates will be contacted in
the beginning of April.
- Cover letter indicating professional fellowship area preference, as

Working with the Research Services Librarian and the Assistant Head of
Access Services, the professional fellow will:
- Provide research support for patrons and faculty in person and through
email
- Be the Beinecke staff presence in select classes taught during the
professional fellowship period
- Select materials for one or more “collection highlights” shows for later
Beinecke staff use
- Give tours to interested groups
These duties will allow the professional fellow to develop skills in key
aspects of public services in special collections and gain exposure to the
complexities of providing those services in special collections settings,
including using specialized databases, understanding legacy cataloguing,
and remaining mindful of security considerations. The professional fellow
will also assist Beinecke staff in their mission of making the library’s
collections accessible and supporting the teaching and research mission of
Yale University.

- Introduction and experience using Voyager, OCLC/Connexion and other
bibliographic databases
- Introduction and experience with RDA, DCRM(B) (Descriptive Cataloging of
Rare Materials (Books)), LCSH, genre headings, and authority control
- Specific projects will depend on a person’s language skills, cataloging
background, and interests (e.g. early books, artist books, maps, serials,
or music)

ATHENS
Bibliotheque is a bookstore for dreamers and intellectuals
By Eleni Zoe
A city without a traditional bookshop is a city without a heart. That's one
of the reasons indie publishing house Bibliotheque opened bookshop Stegi
Bibliotheque.
Among the graffitied walls of Exarcheia, Bibliotheque stands as a beacon of
high culture offering translated works from the likes of Julio Cortázar,
Pablo Neruda and Matsuo Bashō. Greek writers, especially poets, include
George Le Nonce and Apostoli Artinou. There's also a curated selection of
books from other publishers that challenge the status quo in every way.
Bibliotheque attracts the literati of the city, especially with its author
events. Follow on Facebook to stay informed. And feel a different city
beat.

positions library history as its own field of scholarship, while promoting
innovative cross-disciplinary research on libraries’ relationships with
their unique environments. LCHS brings together scholars from many
disciplines to examine the history of libraries as institutions,
collections, and services, as well as the experiences of library workers
and users. There are no limits of time and space, and libraries of every
type are included (private, public, corporate, and academic libraries, and
special collections). In addition to Library Science, the journal welcomes
contributors from History, English, Literary Studies, Sociology, Education,
Gender/Women’s Studies, Race/Ethnic Studies, Philosophy, Political Science,
Architecture, Anthropology, Geography, Economics, and other disciplines.

editors if they would like guidance prior to submission.
We are excited to see this journal become a reality. We welcome your
thoughts as we establish a platform for studying libraries within their
broader humanistic and social contexts.

*CfP | Summoning the Archive: A Symposium on the Periodical, Printed
Matter, and Digital Archiving*
<http://nyuinstituteforpublicknowledge.cmail19.com/t/ViewEmail/y/7124BAE60B8…>
NYU's Institute for Public Knowledge
May 11-13, 2017
Organizer: Meghan Forbes, NYU and UT-Austin
Keynote Speaker: Jenna Freedman, Barnard
The printing and distribution of the avant-garde magazine, illustrated
weekly, and underground zine have developed in the twentieth century in
tandem with technological advancements in printing and access to these
technologies in various regions, gaining traction in different parts of the
world at different times based on economic, social, and political
conditions. At its best, the magazine is an efficient, relatively
affordable (for both publisher and consumer) vehicle for the artists and
intellectuals it represents, and has the capacity to innovate with new
technologies and engage in pressing social, political, and artistic issues.
This is even more true now, in the second decade of the twenty-first
century, as we observe new models for content, design, and distribution of
the periodical or magazine published online, which has the potential to
involve an even wider audience, and host a variety of multimedia content.
The magazine thus continues to be a leading platform for social and
political engagement, and artistic innovation.
Corresponding to a turn towards the digital, the field of Periodical
Studies has gained traction as it situates the magazine as a cultural
product that incorporates text, image, and graphic design toward various
political, social, artistic, and pedagogical ends. With large scale
projects dedicated to digitizing print based magazines, such as the Blue
Mountain project at Princeton University or the Modernist Journals Project
at Brown, and a concurrent turn towards digital mapping and data
visualization, periodicals that were once sequestered in the archive now
have the capacity to reach a wider audience, and make visible previously
overlooked networks and connections enacted within and across the magazines.
The Symposium on the Periodical, Printed Matter, and Digital Archiving, to
be held at the Institute for Public Knowledge at NYU, invites publishers,
editors, artists, and scholars from the Social Sciences and Humanities to
come together around various methodologies and archival practices, and
explore the following topics and questions:
- Politics of language and translation in multilingual or internationally
circulated publications.
- Trans-networks: serial print culture as an intersectional axis for
place, culture, genre, language, race, gender, sexuality.
- Does printed matter “translate” digitally?
- How does the library intervene in its archived periodicals through
systems of cataloging, binding, and preservation? How does this affect the
accessibility of these collections for researchers?
- Gaps in the archive: what periodicals and other printed ephemera have
been left out? What can be done to source and preserve historical
periodicals originally not held in collections?
- Likewise, what historical print magazines have not been digitized? What
geographic-linguistic regions, gender, cultural, religious, and racial
orientations are neglected?
- Effective strategies for making visible and accessible digitized
collections through Open Source platforms, as well as data visualization
and digital mapping projects. Distant versus close reading strategies.
Possible pedagogical applications.
- The role and relevance of the print-based mag in our highly digital
moment.
- How does the digital magazine correspond with or subvert the conception
of periodical as a material product and cultural form?
- How do zines, comics, and avant-garde publications resist the potential
for the periodical to be simply an inevitable by‐product of consumerist,
capitalist culture? Do they?
All panels and the keynote address will be held at the Institute for Public
Knowledge at New York University. Site visits to relevant periodical
collections at the New York Public Library and Barnard Zine Library, as
well as the library of the Museum of Modern Art, have also been arranged.
*Those interested in participating should submit a CV and abstract of no
more than 300 words by e-mail with the subject heading: IPK SYMPOSIUM ON
THE PERIODICAL to organizer Meghan Forbes <mlf269(a)nyu.edu>
<mlf269(a)nyu.edu>, Visiting Scholar at the Institute for Public Knowledge,
no later than Friday, February 3, 2017.*
