Dear Deb, hello and Happy New Year. I hope all is well.
It's so nice to read about announcements coming from DO! It reminds me a
of such a wonderfully blissful time.
As I may have mentioned in the fall I have hired an Associate Librarian,
Irini Solomonidi, who is trained as a librarian in Paris and is also a
byzantinist. She is also the one to be succeeding our current Librarian
who is retiring soon. It would be wonderful for her to benefit from
such an opportunity at DO on two levels: how things are done in a US
institution and to have particular training in a Byzantine library.
Could you let me know what kind of projects you were thinking of? How
specific should they be? As you know we are using Aleph as well so there
can be a lot that can be done based on the system. But to me it would be
more helpful if Irini got to learn how you do things: collection
development, rare books and special collections, offprints (in fact we
do have an old colelction of offprints, too - they are catalogued
alphabetically), and/or a million other things.
Please let me know how I can support her application in the best way.
All the best,
Maria

Dumbarton Oaks for the purpose of professional development for a
librarian holding responsibility for Byzantine Studies, Garden History
and Landscape Studies, or Pre-Columbian Studies. The fellowship period
is June 12 - August 11, 2006.
Application deadline is March 1, 2006. Full details of the fellowship
