Dear CoHSL colleagues, I am looking forward to seeing you all at the MGSA symposium and will schedule my transportation so that I'm able to attend the Library Committee and hear Maria's panel.

Reminder: 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, but please let us know if there are other topics you would like to discuss. Although our meeting is not listed in the preliminary program as it appears on the web site, we have been assured that is will appear in the final program. One correction from my message to the list on August 10th-- Maria Georgopoulou's panel is scheduled for lunch time on Saturday, not Friday as originally announced. This will be an very interesting presentation and discussion and I hope that you all can attend. Our friends Michalis Tzekakis and Yannis Kosmas will be presenting. Michalis and Yannis we look forward to seeing you! Please send a quick message to the list if you are planning to attend, so we can see which institutions will be represented. To our Greek and British colleagues, we hope you can come, but understand that the distance might be too great. We would like to plan to meet in 2008 on Greek soil-- (we threw out the possibility of Crete the last time) to continue our discussions. Other updates: The Executive Committee is working on the goals, by-laws, etc. and will have drafts for your review at the meeting. The Gennadius Library publication New Griffon will publish the presentations from our conference. Shortly after my return from Athens last year I submitted a preliminary report for publication in the 2006 MGSA Bulletin (no. 38). The publication was sent out in late spring-and appears pages 48-52. Please let me know if you would like an electronic copy. (The Bulletin is unfortunately not available on line.) If anyone else has published anything on the conference, written any reports about it, please send them to the list. As is often the case, we lost some momentum after that energizing meeting in Athens last December. We tend to return to our institutions and get consumed with our daily work lives and responsibilities and the "big picture" type things get pushed aside for another day. I hope that we can reignite that spark at our upcoming meeting, and help to move the Modern Greek Resources Project to the next level. I hope that you are planning to join us next month--It will be great to reconnect! Warm regards to all, Rhea PS A note to Harry Leich-your message to the list back in August never came through. It appeared with only "Th" and nothing else! -- Rhea K.
