[Cohsl-list] MGSA Symposium Oct. 18-2007

Dear CoHSL members, The Modern Greek Studies Association Symposium is scheduled for October 18-20, 2007 and will take place at Yale University http://www.yale.edu/macmillan/hsp/MGSA20.html. The MGSA Library Committee--which includes all CoHSL members who are MGSA members--will meet on Friday morning, from 9:00-12:00 in classroom 38 of the Beinecke Library. The focus of the meeting will be the Modern Greek Resources Project. I am also pleased to announce that Maria Georgopoulou has organized a panel which is scheduled to take place at lunch time on Friday (after our committee meeting) October 19th. The goal of the panel is to provide Modern Greek Studies faculty and students information on the progress that Greek libraries, archives and research institutions have made in the digital realm. Hopefully this panel will initiate a productive discussion from the practitioners' side, which can help us to further identify their resource needs as the Project moves forward. I hope that you are planning to join us in October. We are meeting early on in the conference, which means we can get the work done first, and then enjoy the rest of the presentations. I will pass the torch to George Paganelis, who will take over as MGSA Library Committee Chair for the next two years. Thanks, George for volunteering to take over! Warm regards to all, Rhea -- Rhea K.
