Azerbaijani Romanization Table Revision approved

by Johnson, Bruce

Azerbaijani Romanization Table Revision approved 11/28/2017 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 to revise the Azerbaijani romanization table. The revised table has subsequently been approved. The updated Azerbaijani 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, LC Policy and Standards Division (bjoh(a)loc.gov<mailto:bjoh@loc.gov> ). Bruce Chr.

Call for Papers: Libraries in the sky: large-scale collaboration strategies and infrastructures to enhance the use of digital heritage collections

by KALAMOS BOOKS

{apologies for egregious cross-posting} Call for Papers: *Libraries in the sky: large-scale collaboration strategies and infrastructures to enhance the use of digital heritage collections* IFLA RBSCS mid-term conference National Library of Norway (Oslo) April 12th 2018 In many countries, libraries have worked together to enhance the visibility of their national heritage through a national digital library. In Europe, Europeana is the continental digital library, and humanity as a whole has a World Digital Library to discover its most precious treasures. Now the time has come to reinforce and expand these collaborative initiatives over the cloud, to foster new research opportunities and include born digital documents as well. New kinds of collaborations, large-scale or international, are now needed. Tools like IIIF are becoming standards which must be mastered by librarians, and Research Infrastructures are being created which demand the expertise of librarians on their collections and on information management. Born-digital documents represent new challenges that probably need to be addressed collaboratively, and solutions are still to be found. The IFLA Rare Books and Special Collections is inviting speakers from all over the world to Oslo on April 12th, 2018, to present their experiences and projects regarding the building of large-scale collaborative tools and infrastructures to enhance the access to and the reuse of digital heritage collections, born-digital or digitized items. An interactive training session on IIIF will also be provided by the National Library of Norway. The call for papers runs until December 31st, 2017. Selected speakers will be informed by January 31st at the latest. Speakers please be aware that no financial support is available from the organizers. Presentations will be made available online after the conference. Proposals should be sent in English to both Frédéric Blin Frederic.blin(a)bnu.fr and Hege Stensrud Høsøien hege.hosoien(a)nb.no, with abstracts of no more than 500 words or less plus a single-paragraph C.V.

John & Cleo Rumpakis Library

by KALAMOS BOOKS

http://www.greeknewsonline.com/archbishop-demetrios-officiates-ahifs-john-c… Archbishop Demetrios Officiates AHIF’s John & Cleo Rumpakis Library Rededication Ceremony NOVEMBER 19TH, 2017 Washington, DC- The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) held a ceremony to rededicate the AHI Foundation library in honor of E. John and Cleo Rumpakis, October 27, 2017. His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, Geron of America, presided over the ceremony. “We sincerely thank His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, who travelled from New York to preside over the ceremonies. His Eminence’s blessing, wisdom, and contribution to the Orthodox portion of the library were appreciated greatly,” AHI President Nick Larigakis said. Archbishop Demetrios offered remarks following the ceremony. His Eminence spoke about the significance of the word, “Institute,” and its Greek meaning, “Thesmos,” which is “an institution that has a character of value that is beyond normal things.” In addition, His Eminence spoke about the library’s significance and the books His Eminence donated to it: “This place could be a very good place for archival research. I am talking from experience from the Archdiocese. During my eighteen years, there have been at least five or six doctoral dissertations written based on the archival material of the Archdiocese. Here you have this excellent material on Cyprus and so many other issues related to the American-Greek relationship. Mr. Rossides has been a symbol of this type of things being himself a history expert. On this occasion we would like to offer a contribution to this institution.” Among the dignitaries in attendance were: His Grace Bishop Sevastianos of Zela, Archdeacon Panteleimon Papadopoulos; Ambassador of Greece to the United States Haris Lalacos, Andreas Nikolaides, deputy chief of Mission, Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Washington; Colonel Panagiotis Kavidopoulos, defense attaché, Embassy of Greece in Washington; and AHEPA Executive Director Basil N. Mossaidis. AHI Board Members: Leon Andris, Demitrios Halakos and his wife, Georgia; James Marketos, Esq., James Pedas; and longtime AHI supporters: Theodore Pedas, George Mermelas, John Sitilides, Paul Kotrotsios, and Panayiota Larigakis; along with current and former AHI staff, including: Georgea Polizos, Ellen Reklitis, and Marina Kiotsekoglou, were all in attendance. “We are deeply grateful to E. John and Cleo Rumpakis for their very generous gift to the AHI Foundation Library which has been rededicated in their honor,” Larigakis said. We thank them for their contribution to the pursuit of the education of young adults and scholars, alike, in the awareness and promotion of Hellenism. With the re-opening of the library, the AHI Foundation will be able to provide a resource to the community to learn about Hellenism through our significant ancestral history. During the library’s restoration process, President Larigakis stated AHI was able to “properly catalog, restore and present roughly 2,500 books, 1,600 journals and unclassified government publications, and 400 historical documents and special collections in the Institute’s possession, thereby creating a remarkable library that will serve the community as one of the most unique collections on Greece, Cyprus and the southeast Mediterranean.” This task was performed with the extensive help of Gregory Graves, an AHI Foundation Graduate fellow, and Ph.D. candidate at George Washington University, who has been dedicated to studying the 1974 Cyprus invasion. His work was instrumental in organizing and cataloging the thousands of books, publications, and newspaper clippings that collectively form the library’s resources. In addition to Graves’s work to establish the library collection, he has produced 31 binders of previously declassified government documents regarding the illegal invasion of Cyprus in 1974 by Turkey, as part of his doctoral thesis. ---------------------------- 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

Survey: Integrating digital humanities into the web of scholarship with SHARE

by KALAMOS BOOKS

Survey: Integrating digital humanities into the web of scholarship with SHARE <http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Awol-TheAncientWorldOnline/~3/adg9iNmZWCk/su…> Posted: 31 Oct 2017 03:33 PM PDT NEH: Integrating digital humanities into the web of scholarship with SHARE Digital humanities scholarship is interdisciplinary, multimodal and distributed across a wide network of tools, repositories, and websites. By working closely with scholars and librarians in the DH community, the project team is investigating requirements for: - scholars to link all the components of their work - librarians to have a means to accurately track usage of all the components of a DH project - scholars and students to quickly find the relevant scholarship and primary sources they need - new project leaders to quickly gain an understanding of all the existing content and tools at their disposal. This survey will help the project team prioritize those requirements <https://wustl.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_50aJ27JgEShysol> in order to build prototypes for search and discovery using the SHARE <http://www.share-research.org/> aggregator. Please note that the de-identified and anonymized results of this survey will be made openly available on the project website <https://osf.io/kx2cy/> after the survey closes. -- 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
