Call for papers for IFLA Rare Books and Special Collections Section at WLIC2017

by KALAMOS BOOKS

The IFLA Rare Books and Special Collections Section is sponsoring two sessions at upcoming IFLA World Congress in Wrocław. The themes of the sessions are “Out of the Stacks: Special Collections in Society” and “Collections and Books [A]cross Borders.” Both of these topics are very timely, and we expect to have informative presentations and lively discussion. Complete information can be found at the IFLA website: http://www.ifla.org/node/11141?og=59 There is also a posting on the sections blog “Rare and Special” at: http://iflarbscs.hypotheses.org/414 *Themes: “Out of the Stacks: Special Collections In Society”* What happens when special collections are taken out of their library home, either virtually or physically, and used by the library or by others beyond the traditional ways in which libraries have interpreted these collections for audiences who come into their buildings. Today’s exhibitions may be accompanied by a programme of marketing and promotion. Some people’s encounters with books and manuscripts may be entirely through seeing their images used in a tourism campaign and buying related merchandise. Libraries also enter into a wide range of partnerships with commercial companies who digitise their materials. The program committee welcomes proposals for papers that move beyond case studies into an examination of the issues raised by the use of collections in non-traditional ways. Speakers from a marketing, commercial digitisation, or other non-library background are particularly welcome. *Proposals are due by February 28, 2017* See the full call for papers on the WLIC 2017 website <http://2017.ifla.org/cfp-calls/rare-books-and-special-collections-section> . *Theme: “Collections and Books [A]cross Borders”* Books have always travelled. Libraries worldwide hold books and collections that have crossed all kind of borders: national, political, cultural, geographic, and material. Borders themselves may change over time, or be imposed or removed. The effects of war, colonialism, and political events are obvious, but even the most legal and peaceful movement of cultural heritage objects from one place to another may give rise to issues and even controversies which need to be carefully considered. More positively, collections may cross borders to bring about meaningful encounters with texts, ideas, and the artifacts that hold them, thus providing an opportunity for greater understanding of cultural heritage. Digitization can break down borders and sometimes create new ones, all affecting global research and the free transmission of knowledge and ideas. The program committee welcomes proposals for papers that address any of these topics in a comprehensive way. This special all-day session is co-sponsored by the Indigenous Matters Section and will take place at Wroclaw University Library. Proposals are due by February 28, 2017 See the full call for papers on the WLIC 2017 website <http://2017.ifla.org/cfp-calls/rare-books-and-special-collections-joint-wit…> .

Posters of Greek events

by KALAMOS BOOKS

I am busy cataloguing a portfolio of full-size publicity posters of Greek events that I recently acquired from a Greek printing shop. Most of them, naturally, are local to Toronto - but here is a list of those with some American content, a few from Greece and there is also a small collection of Greek performers - they seem to be in the form of publicity blanks from Greece with pictures of the stars and spaces in which the local print shop could insert the locations and times of local performances. See the list below June Samaras POSTERS OF GREEK EVENTS - some USA Loizos, Manos. Sounds of Modern Greece : First North American Tour - Manos Liozos in Concert May 7-18th 1981.
