Ohio University Libraries News and Events

The Friends of the Libraries of Ohio University and the Office of the Provost will be sponsoring the 17th annual reception for Ohio University Authors, Editors & Performers on Monday, May 21.

The Friends and the Provost’s Office are expanding the criteria for recognition this year to include not only books and significant exhibitions and performances but also journal articles and book chapters published in 2006. Eligible works are:
• Books
• Journal articles
• Book chapters
• recorded works on compact disk or other electronic format
• major exhibits or exhibition catalogs
• programs from major theatrical, musical or dance performances

The Friends and the Provost’s Office are asking faculty and staff from all campuses as well as emeriti who fit these criteria to enter publication data into a web-based datafile at http://teach.citl.ohiou.edu/pubs/. The site is now open and will remain open until noon on Monday, April 16.

In addition to a broadened scope this year, the event, formerly known as the Faculty & Staff Authors & Performers reception, has the new moniker, Authors, Editors & Performers reception. The event is held to recognize publicly and collectively the combined output of research and creative activity for 2006.

The program will be held in the Class of 1951 Lounge on the 4th floor of Alden Library. Copies of most of the publications and other items such as CDs will be on display as part of the program. The program will be open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
