Winnington-Ingram Trainee Position

Applications are now being accepted for our Graduate Trainee position here in the library. The successful candidate works alongside the library staff for a year to gain an insight into all aspects of librarianship; not to mention first look at all the new Classics books. You are also given the opportunity to attend training sessions and visit other libraries throughout the year to discover the aspects of the industry which interest you the most. Additionally you will inherit full charge of a certain (highly successful!) blog...

n.b. there is a salary- it's not one of those internships.

Foundation Day Closure

Just to remind our readers that on Wednesday 27th November the library will be closing at 12.45 for the annual Foundation Day celebration in Senate House.

Open Access Conferences

Two great conferences have been placed online (free!) in their entirety:

UCL's Greek Literary Epigram: From the Hellenistic to the Early Byzantine Era

and The Warburg Institute and the Institute of Classical Studies' The Afterlife of Ovid

It's a fantastic feature of the Open Access movement that scholars across the world can now experience conferences they are unable to attend in person. It also allows students and other interested parties to remain at the forefront of research without having to spend large amounts of money on events which may well not be as relevant as hoped. Many thanks to the above contributors and feel free to link to more in the comments!
