[Cohsl-list] new group in the APA

A new group affiliated with the American Philological Association, “the Forum for Classics, Libraries, and Scholarly Communication,” was recently formed. Its second annual meeting will take place at the APA conference in Montreal, Canada, on 7 January 2006 from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. in room 513A of the Palais des Congrès. The Forum’s purpose is to bring together librarians, scholars, and others interested in the intersection of classical studies, libraries, and scholarly communication, in order to exchange ideas and collaborate on projects of mutual interest. Topics for discussion at meetings and online may, for example, include collection building and funding, partnerships between publishers, scholars, and librarians, access to digital resources, and the preservation of library materials, including those in electronic form. Current projects include creating a searchable database for locating the archives of American classicists and classical archaeologists and developing model outreach programs to promote classics in public libraries. More information about the Forum can be found on its web site: http://library.nyu.edu/fclsc/. To join the listserv, please send a blank message to fclsc(a)forums.nyu.edu. All are welcome to attend the Forum’s meeting in Montreal.
