a.       Creating the “collective collection”: Ivy Plus, RECAP
b.      Electronic vs. print or both?
c.       Small publishers and esoteric publications: which institutions are collecting them? Can we work together for coverage?
d.      “Orphan titles” project, revisited, in the spirit of collaboration.

The Forum for Classics, Libraries and Scholarly Communications is organizing a meeting of greater New York-area classics and ancient world librarians on Friday, May 1st, from noon to five pm. It is hosted by the Library at the Institute of the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) with the support of the Yale Classics Library. We hope the meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss issues of common concern and explore areas of potential collaboration including collection development, instruction, and digital projects.  If you are interested in attending, please contact Colin McCaffrey, colin.mccaffrey@yale.edu, if you have not already been in touch. Further details about the program will be forthcoming, and we welcome suggestions for topics to consider.
