Dear all,
I hope you are planning to attend this year's Symposium of the Modern Greek
Studies Association, especially since the library community will be so
nicely represented with a panel and a separate meeting. Please come and meet
colleagues from the United States and Greece. The latest preliminary program
of the Symposium is listed at the MGSA Web site:
http://www.humanities.uci.edu/classics/MGSA/chisymp.html.
The panel "Research Collections (in Hellenic Studies): Challenges and
Possibilities" is scheduled for Saturday, November 5, 8:00-10:30 am, in
LaSalle 5 at the Palmer House in Chicago. If you have not yet registered,
please find the information at the MGSA site
http://www.humanities.uci.edu/classics/MGSA/chicago.htm .
I am further attaching a preliminary agenda for the business meeting, which
will take place on Saturday as well between 1:00-3:00 pm in LaSalle 5. I
have in addition added the agenda to this text in case you have difficulty
opening attachments. If there are additional items you wish to include,
please let me know as soon as possible.
I would also appreciate if you have working documents and the like that you
wish to share with everyone to please let me know so that I can add them to
our Web site
http://www.cohsl.net <http://www.cohsl.net/> . I have still
not received a description from everyone of the collection strengths at your
respective institutions to be posted on the Web.
I am very much looking forward to seeing you all in just a couple of weeks!
Please note: The agenda for the business meeting is attached and below.
All the best,
Rebecka
