This forum brought an array of scholars, librarians, and other stakeholders together to consider the future of research libraries and their role in advancing international scholarship and the globalization of the universities of which they are a part. This preliminary report shares a vision of the new, broad-gauged information infrastructure and services that will energize scholarship on issues of local and international concern, now and into the future. Its recommendations are offered as a point of departure for discussions among stakeholders. We are eager to generate ideas from organizations and individuals to incorporate into an ambitious and solid action plan. The feedback and suggestions will help inform strategies for libraries to align their collecting, tools, and services to support expanded international studies in the increasingly globalized world of U.S. higher education. We are distributing the report widely, to scholarly societies, research associations, library organizations, collection development and subject specialists, and university decision-makers. We ask each of you to consider the recommendations and offer your suggestions and strategies to enact them. Please share with your constituency, and we welcome any and all comments. You may submit them to me (simon-s8m7MN4ixSw&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org) and/or the steering committee via the address global-forum-4+jYJfmkT5/hvxM+mQhndA&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org We would also welcome a formal response from the Middle East Librarians Association, reflecting how the recommendations align, overlay, or contradict your own aspirations and activities, and specific steps MELA may take to advance the ideas advocated in the report.

The Iranian censors' objections may have been sparked by allegedly immoral scenes in the currently popular Turkish television soap opera of the same title that is loosely based on the novel. The soap opera is banned in Iran. But Majid Hamidzade, the director of the Tehran Book Fair, counters that in his view there's no objectionable content in Halid Ziya's book. </pre> Riedlmayer, Andras 2013-05-05T20:32:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.libraries.mela/9260 <pre>Congratulations David!

Young Research Library Collections, Research and Instructional Services, has been chosen by the Librarians Association of the University of California, Los Angeles, as the 2013 Librarian of the Year. This award recognizes excellence in librarianship over the last twelve to eighteen months, particularly as it furthers the teaching and research mission of UCLA, and meets the intellectual, informational, and cultural needs of the university community. The award, conferred during the Association's spring meeting on April 24, 2013, recognizes David's continual efforts to enhance the Library's Middle East collections, helping to make the UCLA Library the premier West Coast destination for Middle East scholars and researchers. David also worked on three exhibits, on Afghan history, Armenian printing history, and Islamic superhero comic books (which included a Library-sponsored event and film screening). During the last year, David provided invaluable assistance in finding a permanent home for the Tahrir Documents Archive in UCLA Library Special Collections. In his unrelenting efforts to enhance collections, share research, and partner with libraries in the Middle East, David's bravery was exemplified by a recent two week workshop at the University in Basra and through his contributions to the development of Iraq's libraries, despite the obvious danger posed to an American traveling in that country. The Librarians Association of the University of California is the system's primary organization for professional librarian and governance affairs.

In a scientific age, when secular knowledge must undergird secular understanding, independent scholar-teachers are more critical than ever before. When they and their training are redefined as dispensable, valued only for their instrumentality in the competitive arena of vocational skill training, academic freedom becomes a privilege of powerful universities and status-laden faculty. Everyone else would be disposable, and a disposable faculty would not speak truth to power, but rather do its bidding." (Mary Burgan, Whatever Happened to the Faculty?) "...[L]et us remember that it has not been the regimentation of American higher education or the homogeneity of its 'product' that has made it the envy of the world..."

Previously, issues 7-8 of volume 49, titled "RDA Testing: Lessons Learned and Challenges Revealed," related the experiences of selected libraries within the United States, from testing to implementation. This issue will look at libraries outside of the United States. Submissions for this special issue should describe the implementation or planned adoption of RDA; authors should explain the reasons for the choice and describe the various phases involved. Some possible topics include: * Benefits to users * RDA implementation procedures in various countries, including staff training * Implications for cataloging policies at an individual library, for a consortium, and/or for a country * Costs and benefits to the institution * Translations of RDA and its controlled vocabularies * Problems identified * Cataloging codes used * Use of RDA for publishing linked data Proposals of no more than 300 words should be sent by May 15, 2013 to the guest editors, Marie-France Plassard (mfplassard-Qt13gs6zZMY&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&lt;mailto:mfplassard&lt; at &gt;yahoo.fr&gt; ) and Gordon Dunsire (gordon-6lpm9KMpqxY8K8NbeNEs3wC/G2K4zDHf&lt; at &gt;public.gmane.org&lt;mailto:gordon&lt; at &gt;gordondunsire.com&gt;). Decisions will be communicated no later than June 15, 2013. Manuscripts are due by December 1, 2013. Each manuscript should be in the range of 5,000-8,000 words. Instructions for authors can be found at http://catalogingandclassificationquarterly.com/instructions.html Acceptance of a proposal does not guarantee publication. All manuscript submissions will be subject to peer review. Publication is scheduled for 2014. Cataloging &amp; Classification Quarterly is respected as an international forum for discussion in all aspects of bibliographic organization. It presents a balance between theoretical and applied articles in the field of cataloging and classification, and considers the full spectrum of creation, content, management, and use and usability of both bibliographic records and catalogs. This includes the principles, functions, and techniques of descriptive cataloging; the wide range of methods of subject analysis and classification; provision of access for all formats of materials; and policies, planning, and issues connected to the effective use of bibliographic data in modern society. </pre> Joyce E.
