[Cohsl-list] Epigraphers Collaborating to Improve Library Collections

http://ancientworldbloggers.blogspot.com Over at <http://www.currentepigraphy.org/> Current Epigraphy we're taking some steps to try to improve library holdings of epigraphic publications. We hope that we'll be joined there by other scholars and librarians. This was Gil <http://artsci.wustl.edu/%7Eclassics/faculty.php?facID=21> Renberg's idea: a place to share notices of useful publications (print or electronic) that seem to have escaped the collections dragnet and are therefore dangerously (preservation) or disruptively (research support) underrepresented in a nation's or a region's libraries. We're trying to use the blog medium to our advantage as well, so we're tagging relevant posts as concerned with "rare publications". This gives us a <http://www.currentepigraphy.org/category/publications/rare_publication/> thematically browseable list, together with a <http://www.currentepigraphy.org/category/publications/rare_publication/feed /> corresponding web feed. You can read more about the initiative at CurEp: "New <http://www.currentepigraphy.org/2008/01/22/new-and-rare-publications/> and Rare Publications" (22 Jan 2008). Members of cohsl and fclsc are encouraged to participate actively or passively!
