Dear ARLIS colleagues,
If you were unable to attend the January 5th meeting of the Forum for Classics, Libraries, and Scholarly Communications Interest Group (within the Society for Classical Studies), please be aware that the video of
Barbara
Rockenbach (Yale) and Simon Neame (UMass-Amherst) discussing "The New Normal for Academic Libraries in a Post Pandemic World" is now available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkPuAhR3OgY&feature=youtu.be
Among other highlights from the SCS & Archaeological Institute of America (AIA) joint annual meetings in early January:
- a pre-conference session focused on open resources for public history, specifically highlighting Digital
Hammurabi, Everyday Orientalism, and Peopling
the Past as collaborative and multimodal projects
- the launch of the AIA's new Digital Archaeology Interest Group, which is chaired by me, found support
for collaborating with ARLIS librarians on a future AIA/SCS colloquium session on open resources for ancient art and archaeology (as soon as AIA releases updated information about submitting proposals for 2022,
I will send out a CFP)
- several sessions on digital technologies and related scholarship featured photogrammetry, 3D visualizations, AR, VR, and other media-rich projects at archaeological sites and in museum collections. Many speakers either credited their librarians
as close collaborators (mostly in Digital Classics Association Interest Group (SCS)-sponsored session where philologists have sought digital humanities expertise among librarians) or admitted that they weren't sure with whom to collaborate nor what to do with
their research outputs (demonstrating a need for conversations with librarians and archivists, especially around 3D visualizations, mixed reality technologies, geospatial data, etc.!)
- A session specifically on "Archive Archaeology and Cultural Heritage: Documentation in Conflict Zones" focused on the digitization of archival materials related to the badly damaged heritage site Palmyra,
Syria. Among the speakers was Scott McAvoy from the digital media lab of UC San Diego Library discussing the creation of a media-rich, user-friendly, browser-friendly web portal for content such as 3D visualizations and geospatial data.
- An annual program known as "Ancient Makerspaces," sponsored by the Forum for Classics, Libraries, and Scholarly Communications, highlighted a number of digital scholarship projects, scanning of material culture, and issues of pedagogy.
All the best,
Deb Brown Stewart

Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year!
Just a quick reminder that our
annual meeting will be held
Tuesday, January 5, 2021, 12:00 - 2:00 pm CST. The
agenda is a google document and has links to the zoom session and the draft of the 2020 minutes, which we need to vote on to approve. Please take a moment to confirm that you can open the agenda.
You do NOT need to register with us or the SCS or AIA to attend the FCLSC annual meeting this year. Indeed,
I encourage all of you to take advantage of this to spread the word to invite colleagues to either the whole meeting or just the second half,
as it is likely to be of interest to librarians and humanists beyond ancient studies.
Discussion: The New Normal for Academic Libraries in a Post-Pandemic World (1:00-2:00pm CST)
Presentation by Barbara Rockenbach, University Librarian, Yale University
Response by Simon Neame, Dean of Libraries, UMass Amherst
Barbara Rockenbach will present her view of what lasting changes to academic and research libraries will follow in the wake of the pandemic experience in higher education, with a special focus on the humanities and comparatively small fields, like classics
and archaeology. Simon Neame will respond with comments and reflections as to the future of academic libraries at public institutions in a post-pandemic world. The presentations will be followed by Q & A with the presenters.
Please also remember that we will be voting for officers in the business meeting
portion of the meeting and that you should all have brief statements from the nominees. If anyone would like to see those statements, please let me know: I would be happy to send them again.
Finally, as always, if anyone would like to write posts for our blog, please let me or Rebecca know: would love to host guest posts!
I will be posting various announcements on twitter if you prefer that mode of communication at @classics_libs
Best wishes on a happy and productive 2021!
David and Rebecca
