The Modern Greek Resources Project - Libraries, Collections, and Databases (Paperback, Volume IX)

Greek bibliographic resources have generally been difficult to access in North America. The latest issue of the Gennadius Library's annual periodical presents revised versions of papers first given at a meeting held in December 2006 that explored the possibility of effective transnational cooperation between libraries in Greece and in North America. Five broad themes dominated the conference: collection development and acquisition; bibliographic control (including cataloguing, adherence to standards, transliteration issues, and Unicode); reformatting (i.e., microfilming and digitization); indexing the contents of periodicals; and resource sharing and document delivery. Titles in Greek are in modern Greek.
