I hope you have all recovered from last weeks events, at least somewhat. I’
m looking forward to Karen’s and Rhea’s reports with photos(!) to help
process all the good information provided by the many presenters and “tour
guides.” Thanks again to Maria and Rhea and you all for the tremendous
effort you put into making our “meeting” a success.
I have added some of the projects discussed at our meeting to our Web page
http://www.CoHSL.net. If you choose “Digital Projects” from the left
vertical bar, you will be able to see what I have included so far. Please
let me know if I have neglected to mention important projects and always
provide the URL in your messages. Please keep in mind that it is a work in
progress. If there is no Web access I have not included the institution.
Rhea’s text on the CRL Web page about the Modern Greek Resources Project is
linked to under “Working Documents and Other Projects.” The Program of the
Athens meeting is linked to at the bottom of the text on the “About” page
to remind us of the many presentations and visits. I hope to link to
George’s well-written piece on an “Année Grèce Moderne” as soon as the
new issue of the JMGS is published.
If someone feels qualified to write a “concise” piece (or three) on the
issues of interlibrary loan between Greek and non-Greek libraries, copyright
and fair use in Greece (EU?), and EU funding of Greek library projects, I
would like to add that to our page.
For now, καλα Χριστουγεννα (Happy Hanukkah or Happy Winter
Solstice for some of us) και καλη Πρωτοχρονια!
