Harvard Libraries Aid Iraq; Houghton Library Acquires Samuel Johnson Works
Here are two items about Harvard’s libraries:
Gary reminded me that I still hadn’t posted about a joint initiative by some of Harvard’s libraries and Simmons College’s Graduate School of Library and Information Science to provide training to Iraq’s librarians and archivists to help with that country’s shortage of information professionals.
The Harvard University Gazette also reports Mary, Viscountess Eccles, donated an important collection of Dr. Samuel Johnson’s work and related material to Houghton Library and included money to support the collection and a curator.
