Astroff, Roberta (Session 4-B Publishing and Migration)

This paper presents a snapshot of three types of 20th - and 21st-century migrations in Spanish-language publishing: 1) exiled publishers and writers creating new publishing units in their countries of refuge; 2) the massive migrations of Latin American and Caribbean populations into the United States and the slow responses of the US publishing industries; 3) the migration of money in the publishing industry, particularly the multinational financial basis for the Spanish-language publishing industry

Les débuts de la presse illustrée en Europe: une frontière de l'Europe invisible et fragile

A travers une analyse de leur origine et de leur diffusion, nous voudrions montrer en quoi, à partir de 1832, les premiers magazines illustrés établis sur le modèle du Penny Magazine anglais dit des 'connaissances utiles' ont construit par leur contenu très proche et respectueux du voisin la frontière invisible d'un imaginaire ouest- européen presque équivalent à celle qui avait été virtuellement tracée par la diffusion de l'Encyclopédie.
Cette limite culturelle s'est estompée dix ans plus tard avec la montée des nationalismes et l'apparition de l'actualité dans la nouvelle génération de magazines illustrés, inaugurée par l'Illustrated London News, au profit de frontières nationales dont les tracés furent en eux-mêmes un sujet de préoccupation. Dans les deux cas, le passage d'une partie de l'information du texte à l'image aura contribué à reconfigurer le sentiment d'appartenance des lecteurs à un ensemble territorial.

Migrations in E-Publishing: New Roles for Librarians

The "migration" of scholarly journals to the Web has provoked "migrations" in the roles of publishers and librarians. The best-received electronic resources might come from publishers with librarian staff positions that address usability, intellectual access, and content development. Having "migrated" from academic library settings to a publisher environment, the authors will discuss their experiences working in librarian positions at the Johns Hopkins University Press on Project Muse, an electronic journals product. Muse currently has a staff of five librarians who index and create metadata, help develop the interface and functionality, design usability testing, conduct outreach services, and produce instructional materials.

The Migration from Print to Digital in Italian Publishing

After many years' experience with printed editions of Italian scholarly publications, Casalini Libri recently announced the foundation of Editoria Italiana Online, a unique database of more than 500 books and 100 journals in electronic format, produced by some of Italy's most important publishers. This presentation will discuss the motives behind the initiative, the challenges faced - from both an editorial and commercial perspective - and its particular relevance in meeting the needs of today's academic libraries.

Folgarait, Leonard (Session 3-A Migrations in Art)

Picasso and Cubism in 1909

In 1909, Pablo Picasso traveled from Paris to Spain, where he painted cubist landscapes and portraits, and corresponded with Gertrude Stein, then residing in Paris. Cubism blurs the boundaries between solid forms and space. The portraits begin to look like the mountains. The letters exchanged with Stein crossed national borders. The transgressed borders between France and Spain, realism and abstraction, human subject and mountain, and between male and female artists speak to an experience of geographical and cultural migrations.

Hacken, Richard (Session 5-A Migrations in Literature)

Images of Migration and Change in the German-Language Poetry of Galsan Tschinag

Galsan Tschinag, shaman-poet of Turkic-language speaking Tuvan nomads in Mongolia, was educated in East Germany during the Soviet era and now writes in German. Complementing objective recollections of migration in his prose - diary notations and narratives - are shamanistic, animistic images in his poetry. In this poetic vision, the land mass is expanding; stones, grasses and humans are transmigrating; and mutations endemic to nature become writing instruments that inscribe volumes within the library of life.

Hall, Steven (Session 1-A Migration and Meaning in Digital Resources)

Two migrations: from print on paper to searchable text; and from searchable text to the online research environment. Ten years in digital publishing in literature in English

During 2002 ProQuest conducted a substantial market research exercise into how literature in English is researched, studied and taught in higher education institutions today, and how the growing availability of digital resources might influence how it is researched, studied and taught in the future. One of the findings of the research was the existence of a complex relationship between librarians, faculty and students, with starkly differing levels of confidence and ability between the three groups in their evaluation and use of digital resources. This and other findings from the research have been used in the development by ProQuest during 2003 of a third generation version of its Literature Online database launched in January 2004 and they are explored in this presentation.

Havekes, Frans (Session 3-A Migrations in Art)

Historical Art Sales Catalogues: The migration of a primary source into an online research tool

Much of the research that has been carried out in the field of art history and the migration of art would have been impossible without the use of art sales catalogues. Furthermore, the use of historical art sales catalogues would never have been possible without the impressive four-volume reference work, Répertoire des catalogues de ventes publiques intéressant l'art ou la curiosité, created by Frits Lugt. IDC Publishers have combined the strengths of both in their new publication: Art Sales Catalogues Online. The migration of a 'traditional' microform publication into an online service is an example of how IDC Publishers has migrated during the past years. Our focus upon facilitating searching through the development of standardized metadata and access through online techniques has changed our company from a publisher of tangible products into a service provider to the scholarly community. Art Sales Catalogues is a good illustration of this ongoing
process

Holland, Mark (Session 1-A Migration and Meaning in Digital Resources)

Making More Mean More? Can it be done?

In the digital era of super-abundant information, publishers are stretching to move beyond rich content and the context and critical reception of the primary sources they offer. To support both interdisciplinary imaginative endeavour and specific student assignments, the industry must work with faculty and librarians to indicate possible research paths within and beyond individual product boundaries. This presentation will identify some recent publisher activities that appear to best enable interpretation and meaning to be extracted from within the large digital libraries now becoming available.

Holley, Robert (Session 5-B Microforms and Data Migrations)

A Short History of the Bibliographic Control of Microform Sets

Access to the treasure trove of research materials in major microform sets has posed difficulties for the Western European researcher. While microform sets included printed guides with varying levels of indexing, this was not an ideal solution. In the early 1980's, efforts were undertaken to add cataloging records for individual items in the online catalog. Grant funding, efforts by the Association of Research Libraries and the American Library Association, individual and collaborative library projects, and the OCLC major microform set service greatly increased access. The results of these initiatives provide solid ground for the bibliographic control of the next generation of digital products.

Horvath, Milena (Session 5-A Migrations in Literature)

Quand le passage s'écrit: migration de la voix, de l'écrit, et de l'image dans la littérature maghrébine de langue française

Notre communication a pour objectif de présenter l'acte narratif complexe observé dans certains romans algériens de langue française écrits par des femmes, qui traduit la position de l'entre-deux linguistique, social et culturel entre l'univers féminin et celui des hommes, l'oralité et l'écriture, l'Occident et l'Orient. Pour pouvoir le saisir, nous proposons la notion d'écriture de l'entre-deux. Nous posons l'hypothèse que cette pratique d'écriture cumulant écoute, lecture et regard, est propre à la situation interculturelle des auteures algériennes, comme Assia Djebar, Maïssa Bey et Leïla Sebbar. La pratique de l'écriture de l'entre-deux est précédée par le triple processus de la lecture, de l'écoute et du regard. A chaque acte narratif correspond une pratique d'écriture de l'entre-deux : la lecture tourne en transcription, l'écoute est traduite en texte par l'inscription, l'écriture cinématographique est avant tout description.

How, Sarah (Session 1-B Resources for Migration Studies)

Resources for Mediterranean Studies

Students of contemporary Europe require greater understanding of the cultures, economics, and politics of the Mediterranean region. Described geographically by its watershed and characterized by millenia of cultural and demographic interpenetration, this region is complex and diverse. Conventional segmentation - Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa, or Western and Eastern Mediterranean - may favor research that highlights differences and limit research that emphasizes integrative views. How can research libraries, enmeshed in their own institutional transformations, support changes in area studies, such as Cornell's Europe-Mediterranean program initiative?

Kilton, Tom (Session 2-B Migration of Information: New Projects)

A French-American Resources Project: Needs and Potentials in a World of Migration

In order for a prompt sharing of information among scholars in the world through improved document delivery, bibliographic control, the digitization of resources, and cooperative collection building, the need for individual librarians to be in routine contact with library partners in other countries is crucial. Due to the migration of emigrants to countries throughout Europe and America, the changing nature of our library collections, and the services we render also increases the need for closer contact among librarians. The successes of various projects of the North American Global Resources Network in promoting closer initiatives between individual librarians in separate countries suggest
that the time for a French-American Resources Project to enhance library relations between France, the United States, and Canada, is ripe.

Liebich, Andre (Session 4-A Russians in Paris and Western Europe)

From Archives to Politics: Boris Nicolaevsky in Paris (1933-1940)

Boris Nicolaevsky ( 1888-1966) was a scholar and revolutionary to whom individuals of all political complexions confided their archival treasures. Two archive related incidents, in Paris in 1936, contributed to a reorientation in Nicolaevsky's political stance. These were the failed negotiations over the Soviet offer to purchase the Marx-Engels Archive and the politically motivated theft from Nicolaevsky's office of Trotsky's archives. This paper will attempt to draw a portrait of Nicolaevsky through the prism of these events.

Livres ou périodiques? La presse illustrée et la nouvelle Europe de 1870

Ma communication examine les contenus de périodiques illustrés - de France, d'Angleterre et d'Allemagne - couvrant la guerre franco-prussienne en 1870-1871, guerre qui provoqua un changement de frontière entre la France et l'Allemagne. Ces journaux constituaient le seul moyen dont les lecteurs disposaient, à l'époque, pour "voir" ce conflit. J'analyse les stratégies d'édition utilisées par ces publications, distribuées par centaines de milliers d'exemplaires, pour suggérer aux lecteurs des éléments d'identité nationale facilitant l'adaptation à cette nouvelle Europe. Il s'agira de tenter de repérer les processus de glissement de cette actualité illustrée vers des mises en mémoire et en histoire.

Perrault, Anna (Session 5-B Microforms and Data Migrations)

Scholarly Use of Microforms: Issues in Access and Usability

Microforms have been a major resource in scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences as well as the technical report literature in the sciences. The paper begins with a brief history of the development of microforms as a storage and preservation medium. Issues in access and usability are examined from the point of view of the purchaser (libraries) and users (scholars). The future of microforms is considered in light of migration to electronic formats for preservation.

vascoda - The Portal for Academic Information Resources

vascoda (www.vascoda.de) is a new portal for scientific information that went online in August 2003. It is a central access point for all fields of science. The portal will - in its final version - allow interdisciplinary searches as well as complex navigation and browsing. Access to all types of documents will be possible: born-digital as well as digitised and print materials can be obtained either free of charge or through pay-per-view options. The service will include full-texts, link-collections, databases, subject-specific search engines and more.

Picker, Marion (Session 5-A Migrations in Literature)

Migration, Mediation, Experience: Walter Benjamin on Storytelling and Being Out of Place

Benjamin's "The Storyteller," focusing on the impact of urbanization and industrialization on literature, hinges on a notion of experience that is radically altered by the interiorization of migration. Modern experience can neither be accumulated nor shared in its literary transmission. The becoming abstract of migration, i.e. the absorption of the physical wanderings of the storyteller by literature itself, corresponds to the condition of the displaced subject of modernity. In conclusion, I will address the question of the relevance of Benjamin's analysis for the contemporary situation.

Roberts, Susanne (Panel Moderator) (Session 1-A Migration and Meaning in Digital Resources)

Migration and Meaning in Digital Resources

The scholarly world, including that part which studies Europe, is currently witnessing significant shifts in the forms of texts and research materials. Publishers are converting large bodies of text by capturing them as digital images, scanning them with optical character recognition (OCR), or re-keying and encoding them. This panel features four representatives from the publishing, library, and scholarly realms who have been involved in the migration of texts and documents from manuscript and print, often via microform, to various digital formats. They speak about the choices of models for specific conversion projects, the underlying assumptions about how the digital materials will be read or used for research, the limitations imposed and possibilities offered by technology, and the ways in which this migration may shape the meaning of texts and the future of research.

Ross, Norman (Session 5-B Microforms and Data Migrations)

French Micropublishing: The Future Isn't What It Used to Be

In 1958 the Bibliothèque Nationale (now the BNF) launched a program of microform preservation focusing primarily on manuscripts and periodicals. French Periodicals were (and are) being filmed by a semi autonomous arm of the BN, the ACRPP. The BN later began a major effort to film deteriorating books, especially those published in the latter part of the 19th century. Commercial micropublishing in France began around 1970, with a few companies participating through very limited programs. Hachette, the most important player, had 25 small published collections that consisted only of rare books. Chadwyck-Healey, IDC, Clearwater Publishing and its successor, Norman Ross Publishing, all came from outside France to create films and fiche there, but their market was primarily foreign. By contrast, French libraries bought few foreign microforms and focused mostly on preserving their own collections. Microfilm remains the preferred medium for the preservation of library materials in France, albeit digitizing permits easy access and dissemination. Some numerization projects launched in Paris became more difficult to accomplish than originally foreseen, and the desire for full-text has succumbed to financial restraints resulting in image files instead.

Sandler, Mark (Session 1-A Migration and Meaning in Digital Resources)

New Scholarship With Old Books: Digitally Accessible Historic Corpora and the Transformation of Humanities Research

The widespread accessibility of hundreds of thousands or early printed books has the potential to revolutionize humanities research worldwide. By digitizing Early English Books, the 18th Century Short Title Catalog, and the Evans bibliography of Early American Imprints, commercial publishers have facilitated access to scarcely held originals, concentrated in the U.K and the East Coast of the United States. While these digital corpus collections are expensive in the aggregate, they are very cost effective per volume.
I intend to talk about the growing use of these major digital corpora (EEBO, ECCO, and Evans) in classroom teaching and scholarly research projects. Because of its relationship to these commercial products through the Text Creation Partnership, staff at the University of Michigan monitor and report on the implications of these corpus initiatives for transforming research and instruction. I will share examples of such uses, and speculate on future opportunities, including taking better advantage of thousands of non-English language texts included in the collections.

Schorcht, Claudia (Session 5-B Microforms and Data Migrations)

Preserving Digital Content: A New Role for Microforms

The digitization of microforms has become a matter of routine over the last few years. So far, however, the connection between the analog and digital world has been. a one-way street. Now the situation has changed: A new technique has been developed to copy digital data on (color)-microfilm or microfiche without loss of quality. This new technique will allow an easier exchange between analog and digital information in both directions, but - and this might turn out to be even more important - it could also turn out to be an unexpected long-term preservation option for digital content.

Shipe, Timothy (Session 3-A Migrations in Art)

The Dada Movement: Violating Boundaries

Of the avant-garde artistic movements that emerged in the first half of the 20th century, Dada was the most international. Beginning in Zurich as a protest against the First World War and the corrupt culture that had led to it, Dada attempted to demolish that culture by violating all of its rules and boundaries. The Dadaists were border crossers in many senses. The movement spread throughout Europe following the end of the war. Dada sought to destroy the boundaries between artistic media. And many of the Dadaists wrote in multiple languages, even attempting to create new languages in order to break free of the constraints of the old European tongues. Dada thus pioneered a transnational, transmedial, translingual culture that characterized the arts of the twentieth century.

Shmelev, Anatol (Panel Organizer) (Session 4-A Russians in Paris and Western Europe: Three Waves of Russian Emigration to Europe)

This panel combines history with archival practice by examining the story of three waves of Russian emigration to Europe following the Revolution, Second World War and expulsion of dissidents beginning in the 1970s. The panel addresses the significance of emigre contributions to cultural, literary and political life and puts them into the context of the archival and bibliographical sources for examining these contributions.

Snoeyenbos, Ann (Session 1-B Resources for Migration Studies)

Studying Ethnic Conflict: Research Methods and Resources for Social Scientists

In order to successfully study ethnic conflict one must employ a wide range of research tools and a multiplicity of approaches. I will review the most effective research techniques for use in this area as I review the elements that make social science research different from science and humanities. I will draw my examples from Western Europe, although the concepts are applicable to other world areas and other inter-/multi-disciplinary fields of study.

Sohst, Jörg-Hendrik (Session 3-B Migrations of Collections)

On the Road to a World-Catalogue of Books

Since approximately a third of rare books and some important manuscripts are in private hands which makes access to them difficult and hinders research, I propose a project to bring together private collectors and major libraries to make these texts more available without necessitating the purchase of private collections. I will elaborate on the advantages of this proposal during the conference.

Cultural Sources for the Study of Migration and Cultural Change in France

One of the most striking aspects of current French society is the role played by migrants from France's former colonies and elsewhere and their impact on French culture. This paper presents some of the main questions asked by scholars of post-colonial French culture and explores the resources available to respond to their research needs. Films and music, contemporary literary sources, and memoirs, as well as materials such as cookbooks, records of associational life, and biographical sources all have an important place among the tools of researchers working on questions of identity, the mixing of cultures, integration, and the creation of a transnational society.

West, Geoff (Session 3-B Migrations of Collections)

Where are They Now? The Dispersal of Spanish Printed Book Collections, 1810-1850

The impact on the European book trade of the exodus of important collections of rare books from Spain at the time of the Peninsular War and subsequently is well known. Nigel Glendinning demonstrated this amply in his article of ca. 1960 with particular regard to the London book trade and the increasing interest in Spanish literature and culture in England. This paper will seek to examine the fate of a number of important collections (e.g. of Mayáns y Siscar, José Antonio Conde, and others), the sales that took place, and the subsequent ownership of the books. The position of the British Museum library is of particular interest as it benefitted little from the important sales of the 1820s, but was to acquire a significant number of rare books subsequently following the death of private collectors such as Richard Heber and Thomas Grenville.

A Moment in Time: From the Digital Record of a Migrating Library: Cassirer Library Project

This paper will use the Glasgow-based project to digitise correspondence of, or relating to, the German philosopher Ernst Cassirer, alongside other sources in the Archive of the Warburg Institute, to illustrate a key moment in the Institute's history. In 1933 following the rise to power of the Nazi regime it moved to London from Hamburg, initially on loan, involving the entire transfer of its library. The effects of this migration are documented in the Archive and Cassirer correspondence, as the staff and those scholars associated the Institute adapted to circumstances in Britain, sought funding and promoted the work of the Institute in its new home.

Wilkin, Phillip W. (Session 2-B Migration of Information: New Projects)

Archive of European Integration: Example of the E-print Movement

The paper explores the E-print movement as the most promising solution to a widespread collection development problem, that of providing both patron access and permanent archiving for relatively inaccessible literature. The Archive of European Integration (AEI) is an example of the E-print movement: a self-archiving, online repository and archive designed to collect full text copies of materials on the broad topic of European integration. It collects two types of materials: independently-produced research materials (secondary sources) and official European Community/European Union documents (mostly primary sources). All titles in AEI are freely accessible to anyone; it plans to partner with the other major independent database in European integration studies - European Research Papers Archive (ERPA) - and will offer simultaneous searching of both databases. The AEI represents the theme migration in two ways: 1) the transformation of materials libraries acquire and how they provide storage and access, and 2) it includes materials on migration in Europe.
