This week we are delighted to talk to the always enlightening Dr Christian Schweizer about his Research Ireland funded research on Dicuil, an Irish scholar who was prominent in the Carolingian Court in Aachen in the early 9th century. Dicuil wrote many fascinating texts covering a variety of disciplines including geography, astronomy and computistics, some of which, Dr Schweizer explains were annual "gifts" owed to King/Emperor Louis the Pious in return for his patronage. We also hear about other famous Irish scholars on the continent and ponder whether there are many parallels between their experiences and academia today.Suggested reading:-Christian Schweizer, ‘Categorizing Dicuil's De cursu solis lunaeque' in Peritia: Journal of the Medieval Academy of Ireland, xxxiii (2022), pp 227-48.⁠ https://doi.org/10.1484/J.PERIT.5.131906⁠-Anthony Harvey, ‘"Battling Andrew" and the West-Brit Syndrome Twelve Hundred Years Ago', Classics Ireland 9 (2002), 19-27.- Anthony Harvey, How linguistics can help the historian (Dublin, 2021), 11-22.-Sam Ottewill-Soulsby, ‘The Elephant's Knee: Questioning Ancient Wisdom in the Ninth Century', in The Historian's Sketchpad, November 30, 2023. ⁠https://salutemmundo.wordpress.com/2023/11/30/the-elephants-knee-questioning-ancient-wisdom-in-the-ninth-century/⁠- Tutrone, F.

Mysticism is not just a phenomenon of the past, but has been alive and flourishing in Chistianity, Judaism, and Islam over the past century, as well as in many of the other religious traditions. Best understood as a search for the transforming presence of God, the mystical tradition has necessarily undergone changes and developments as it has confronted modernity and its frequently anti-religious stance. Making use of ten exemplary mystics of the 20th century, including Catholic, Protestants, and Jews, Modern Mystics: An Introduction (Herder & Herder, 2023) argues for the continued importance of mysticism in the modern world and studies its ongoing transformations. Bernard McGinn is the Naomi Shenstone Donnelley Professor emeritus at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, where he taught for thirty-four years before retiring in 2003. McGinn has written extensively on the history of apocalyptic traditions, and especially on spirituality and mysticism. His major project is the multi-volume history of Western Christian mysticism under the general title of The Presence of God. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, as well as a Fellow of the Medieval Academy. McGinn has also served as President of a number of learned societies, such as the Medieval Academy and the American Society of Church History. Learn more about your ad choices.

Christina is the author of four books and over 100 articles and essays on medieval Armenian art and architecture, including most recently, "The Art of Armenia." Her 2015 monograph, "Vigilant Powers: Three Churches of Early Medieval Armenia" won the Karen Gould Prize for Art History from the Medieval Academy of America as well as the Sona Aronian Prize for best Armenian Studies monograph from the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research. She has worked on issues of cultural heritage for over a decade, with a focus on the at-risk Armenian churches and monasteries in what is now Eastern Turkey. ​In this episode, Christina and I discuss the distinctive traits of Armenian religious architecture, its significance in Christian and architectural history, and the interplay between exterior and interior elements in creating sacred space. From their reflection of Orthodox theology to the unique history of Ani, we delved into how Armenian churches differ from other traditions.

They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Me, I've never seen a pen that can cut a sword in half. Swords are powerful things; the more we know about them the better. This week we will discuss the road from weapons of war to weapons of peace, and back again; a sword of myth and legend that may be too powerful to use; the cool stripy marks on really fancy swords and what it means for the church; and a cardboard sword I sacrificed for the good of the children.Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas.

One of the first professional women authors of the Middle Ages, Italian-French writer, strategist and historian Christine de Pizan (1364–c.1429) possessed extensive knowledge of military tactics and advocated for women's equality centuries before the feminist movement. Last year, De Gruyter published her highly influential military and warfare treatise, “Le livre de faiz d'armes et de chevallerie” (Book of Deeds of Arms and Chivalry, 1410) together with its contemporary German translation. On the occasion of Women's History Month, we take a look back on the life and work of this extraordinary figure with Pizan experts Earl Jeffrey Richards and Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski. Prof. Dr. phil. (em.) Earl Jeffrey Richards is Professor of Romance Literatures at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal. In 1982, he translated The Book of the City of Ladies by Christine de Pizan and has been actively writing about her and her works ever since. Prof. Dr. phil. (em.) Renate Blumenfeld-Kosinski is Distinguished Professor Emerita at the University of Pittsburgh and was President of the Medieval Academy of America in 2020/2021. Her research focuses on French medieval literature and culture, in particular Christine de Pizan. Alexandra Koronkai-Kiss is Editorial Communications Manager at De Gruyter. She holds degrees from the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh and has worked in the art world across Europe, specializing in online communication and digital strategy.

The Message by Dr. Michael Ritivoi HansenThe Message is a birds eye view of the origin of Marxism, how it came to be a political system, what kind of a society it is, its daily life, all woven around my personal experience. "The remarkable power of his "message" derives not from rhetorical device but from the searing authenticity of his early life experience." "Without exception, the most potent critiques Soviet Communism have been written by those who have had first-hand experience of it." "His [Dr, Michael Hansen] engrossing book "The Message" is both a history of his daily life under Communism and a philosophical and moral meditation upon Romanian Communism as a spiritual pathology."-Professor John Fleming, Professor Emeritus of literature at Princeton University, Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and Past President of the Medieval Academy of America. "The way the author was able to capture the stark reality of life under a Communist government, and the ways in which Communism strikes down the idea of individuality in those nations, was both heartbreaking and eye-opening to read about."-Pacific Book Review by Jack ChambersAbout the Author: I was Born in Romania during WWII and, I lived there, under the Communist rule until 1978; thirteen years before communism collapsed under its own weight. I had no choices and I had to live in the only environment available to me. I had nothing to compare communism with, except my own common sense. I witnessed how my father and my four uncles, all coming from poor families, raised to achieve higher education and professional success within our pre-WWII capitalist system and, how all suffered professional and small business setbacks under the glorious and fair communism. As they had to be and do as the communist system wanted, with what communism provided; their dreams withered. When my own dreams, as a young dentist withered, I decided to emigrate to the capitalist realm. Our borders had been heavily guarded against those who wanted to get out. Nobody wanted to get in. It took some creativity to succeed but, I did it! Capitalism seemed so easy to live in, even for a pennyless, unlicensed, not speaking the local language, lonely person like me. When communism collapsed, I used the opportunity to understand what I always wanted: why did communism happen? What was it that wrong? Why was communism such a dismal failure? I bought books on this topic and, I was disappointed with all of them. Communism is not a political issue; it is the collapse of human qualities. How and why it happened in Romania, read in my book, THE MESSAGE. After living for several months in a refugee camp in Austria, I found an American Sponsor in the USA and, this allowed me to emigrate and establish myself in the Los Angeles area. I achieved my California Dental License and, I established from scratch my own full service dental clinic in South Orange County, California, which I owned and operated for thirty-nine years. Meanwhile, I enjoyed photography, creative writing, landscaping, classic movies, reading history, philosophy and investigating what I could never do in Communism: spirituality. I have one daughter and two granddaughters who bring me a great feeling of joy seeing them free to live their dreams.https://www.amazon.com/Message-Dr-Michael-Ritivoi-Hansen/dp/1990695841/ref=sr_1_1?crid=13S18L9K76094&keywords=The+Message+by+dr.+hansen&qid=1663773501&s=books&sprefix=the+message+by+dr.+han%2Cstripbooks-intl-ship%2C372&sr=1-1https://www.booksidepress.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/121522bsp1.mp3

The US is, of course, a huge player in the food industry and its influences are felt far and wide. From agricultural production, to processing, to fast food chains and advertising. And it's home to some of the biggest food companies in the world. But is there such a thing as a defined American cuisine? Is it new world ingredients like corn, squash and beans, fast-food foods such as hamburgers, hotdogs and fries? Of course it is more than that, but how do you define it? Can it be defined? In such a vast country, both in terms of area and population, is there one dish that everyone identifies with? Paul Freedman is an expert on the subject and tells the Food Matters Live Podcast there are three elements to US food; Regional, Modern Industrial Food, and Variety. Listen to the full episode to hear about the different dishes that play a major role in the eating habits of Americans, why how and where you eat can be just as important as what you eat, and the important role of race and gender in defining US cuisine. Professor Freedman specialises in medieval social history, the history of Catalonia, comparative studies of the peasantry, trade in luxury products, and the history of cuisine.  His latest book is Ten Restaurants That Changed America (Liveright/Norton, 2016). His other boooks include The Diocese of Vic: Tradition and Regeneration in Medieval Catalonia (1983); Origins of Peasant Servitude in Medieval Catalonia (1991); Images of the Medieval Peasant (1999); and two collections of essays: Church, Law and Society in Catalonia, 900-1500 and Assaigs d'historia de la pagesia catalana ( “Essays on the History of the Catalan Peasantry,” translated into Catalan); Out of the East: Spices and the Medieval Imagination.  A Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America, Freedman is also a corresponding fellow of the Real Academia de Buenas Letras de Barcelona and of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans. He is a member of the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His honors include a 2008 cookbook award (reference and technical) from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (for Food: The History of Taste) and three awards for Images of the Medieval Peasant: the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy (2002), the 2001 Otto Gründler prize given by the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, and the Eugene Kayden Award in the Humanities given by the University of Colorado. He won the American Historical Association's Premio del Rey Prize in 1992 (for The Origins of Peasant Servitude in Medieval Catalonia) and shared the Medieval Academy's Van Courtlandt Elliott prize for the best first article on a medieval topic in 1981.

Dan Weiss, president of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, served as the judge of the 2021 Plein Air Easton art competition.  As we worked with Dan during the festival, we found him to be a passionate, kind, and easy-going man that was able to say incredibly intelligent things in a way that felt connecting when other wise people may sound exclusionary.  He joined us virtually from quarantine to share the story of how he became such a uniquely qualified candidate for his role at the Met and express his love for Plein Air painting. A scholar of art history and a seasoned leader of complex institutions, Dan Weiss was previously President and Professor of Art History of Haverford College and, from 2005 to 2013 of Lafayette College. He holds an MBA from Yale and a PhD from Johns Hopkins University in western medieval and Byzantine art, where he joined the art history faculty and in six years rose to full professor and then chair of the department. Three years later, he became the James B. Knapp Dean of Johns Hopkins's Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. He holds a BA in Art History and Psychology from The George Washington University.  The author of six books and numerous articles, Weiss has published and lectured widely on a variety of topics, including the art of the Middle Ages and the Crusades, higher education, museums, and American culture. His most recent books include In That Time: Michael O'Donnell and the Tragic Era of Vietnam (2019), and Remaking College: Innovation and the Liberal Arts (2013). Earlier in his career, Weiss spent four years as a management consultant at Booz, Allen & Hamilton in New York. The recipient of fellowships from Harvard University, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, Weiss received the Business and Society Award from the Yale School of Management, the Van Courtlandt Elliott Award from the Medieval Academy of America for scholarship in medieval studies, the Distinguished Alumni Award from George Washington University, and he was inducted into the Society of Scholars at Johns Hopkins in 2018.

With Prof. Paul Freeman Professor Freedman specializes in medieval social history, the history of Catalonia, comparative studies of the peasantry, trade in luxury products, and the history of cuisine. His latest book is American Cuisine and How It Got This Way (Liveright/Norton, 2020). Freedman earned his BA at the University of California at Santa Cruz and an MLS from the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of California at Berkeley. He received a Ph.D. in History at Berkeley in 1978. His doctoral work focused on medieval Catalonia and how the bishop and canons interacted with the powerful and weak elements of lay society in Vic, north of Barcelona. This resulted in the publication of The Diocese of Vic: Tradition and Regeneration in Medieval Catalonia (1983). Freedman taught for eighteen years at Vanderbilt University before joining the Yale faculty in 1997. At Vanderbilt, he focused on the history of Catalan peasantry, papal correspondence with Catalonia and a comparative history of European seigneurial regimes. He was awarded Vanderbilt's Nordhaus Teaching Prize in 1989 and was the Robert Penn Warren Humanities Center Fellow there in 1991-1992. During that time, he published his second book, Origins of Peasant Servitude in Medieval Catalonia (1991). Since coming to Yale, Professor Freedman has served as Director of Undergraduate Studies in History, Director of the Medieval Studies Program, Chair of the History Department, and Chair of the Program in the History of Science and Medicine He has offered graduate seminars on the social history of the Middle Ages, church, society and politics, and agrarian studies (as part of a team-taught course). Freedman was a visiting fellow at the Max-Planck-Institut für Geschichte in Göttingen in 2000 and Directeur d'Études Associé at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris in 1995. His third book was Images of the Medieval Peasant (1999) and there are two collections of his essays: Church, Law and Society in Catalonia, 900-1500 and Assaigs d'historia de la pagesia catalana ( “Essays on the History of the Catalan Peasantry,” translated into Catalan). Freedman edited Food: The History of Taste, an illustrated collection of essays about food from prehistoric to contemporary times published by Thames & Hudson (London) and in the US by the University of California Press (2007). His book on the demand for spices in medieval Europe was published in 2008 by Yale University Press. It is entitled Out of the East: Spices and the Medieval Imagination. In the field of culinary history, he published Ten Restaurants That Changed America in 2016 (Liveright/Norton). A book for Yale University Press entitled Why Food Matters will appear in 2021. Freedman also co-edited three other collections: with Caroline Walker Bynum, Last Things: Death and the Apocalypse in the Middle Ages (1999) with Monique Bourin, Forms of Servitude in Northern and Central Europe (2005), and with Ken Albala and Joyce Chaplin, Food in Time and Place (2014). A Fellow of the Medieval Academy of America, Freedman is also a corresponding fellow of the Real Academia de Buenas Letras de Barcelona and of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans. He is a member of the American Philosophical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His honors include a 2008 cookbook award (reference and technical) from the International Association of Culinary Professionals (for Food: The History of Taste) and three awards for Images of the Medieval Peasant: the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy (2002), the 2001 Otto Gründler prize given by the Medieval Institute at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, and the Eugene Kayden Award in the Humanities given by the University of Colorado. He won the American Historical Association's Premio del Rey Prize in 1992 (for The Origins of Peasant Servitude in Medieval Catalonia) and shared the Medieval Academy's Van Courtlandt Elliott prize for the best

Lo staff de “Il Raduno - San Marino Tolkien Fest”, in collaborazione con l'Associazione Culturale “Sentieri Tolkieniani” e “Radio Brea”, è felice di annunciare una novità assoluta: “Ritrovo al Puledro Impennato”, un evento live ricco di ospiti di rilievo all'interno del panorama degli studi tolkieniani, di ogni ordine e grado, che si alterneranno al tavolo del dibattito, in un clima di confronto dinamico. Confidiamo che sia una grande occasione per molti: per gli ospiti, per un fruttuoso scambio di idee e opinioni; per gli amici e gli affezionati del Raduno e di Sentieri Tolkieniani, sempre attenti alle tematiche legate al Professore e interessati a conoscerne aspetti sempre nuovi; ma, soprattutto, per chiunque voglia seguirci, che ancora non conosciamo, ma che ci auguriamo si senta il benvenuto e prenda parte all'evento con il nostro stesso entusiasmo. Purtroppo, l'emergenza sanitaria legata alla diffusione del COVID19 che ha colpito l'Italia, la Repubblica di San Marino e molti altri paesi ci ha obbligato, per il 2020, a mettere da parte l'evento in presenza, che si sarebbe dovuto svolgere proprio nel mese di luglio. Per questo, abbiamo scelto di dirottare il dibattito sulle piattaforme di streaming più conosciute, per mantenere vivo il legame con i nostri affezionati e proiettarci verso un pubblico più ampio, sperando di fare cosa gradita agli appassionati di Tolkien di tutta Italia. ____ Nella vita di ognuno di noi, così come esistono momenti positivi e di grande slancio, esistono anche situazioni di difficoltà, che portano a doversi fermare e, in certi casi, reinventare, per poter riprendere a crescere. Questo è quello che è successo a tutti noi a causa della pandemia e che è successo in passato ad altri, per motivi diversi; ma è anche quello che spesso viene raccontato nella letteratura, nel cinema, attraverso l'espressione artistica in generale. Ecco allora il tema intorno a cui ruota questo nuovo evento: la rinascita, la ripresa, la ripartenza dopo un momento buio; ognuno coi propri mezzi, secondo le proprie possibilità, nei luoghi e nei tempi del fantastico, come nei contesti di vita reale degli autori, degli artisti, degli uomini. ____ Saranno ospiti al nostro evento: - Oronzo Cilli, grande studioso delle opere di Tolkien, conferenziere, promotore di iniziative tolkieniane, membro della Tolkien Society e presidente dell'associazione Collezionisti Tolkieniani Italiani, autore di articoli per riviste e di numerosi testi tematici, tra cui “Tolkien e l'Italia” e “Tolkien's Library: An Annotated Checklist”, quest'ultimo vincitore del premio “Best Book” ai Tolkien Society Awards 2020; - Alessandro Voglino, laureato in Giurisprudenza, grande esperto e appassionato della letteratura tolkieniana, autore di romanzi e saggi con varie case editrici, è stato docente universitario e ha collaborato con alcune emittenti radiofoniche e televisive di rilievo; - Adolfo Morganti, laureato in Psicologia, docente universitario, presidente della casa editrice Il Cerchio di Rimini, co-fondatore e presidente dal 2010 dell'Associazione Culturale Internazionale Identità Europea e fondatore di numerose altre associazioni, organizzatore di eventi tematici su fantasy e fantastico, collaboratore presso numerosi periodici italiani ed europei; - Gianluca Comastri, scrittore e grande conoscitore delle lingue tolkieniane, co-fondatore di Tolkien Italia e fondatore del gruppo culturale e sito web Eldalië, autore del testo "Le lingue degli Elfi della Terra di Mezzo"; - Luca Arrighini, appassionato di fantasy e fantastico, membro dell'Associazione Culturale “Sentieri Tolkieniani” (organizzatrice dell'omonimo evento annuale) e speaker della web radio tematica “Radio Brea”; - Arianna Parissi, laureata Archeologia e Letterature Classiche del Mediterraneo, autrice di “Grandi dionisie e ludi scenici”; - Giovanni Carmine Costabile, laureato in Scienze filosofiche, ricercatore indipendente, traduttore freelance, scrittore, membro di Tolkien Society, Società Tolkieniana Italiana e Medieval Academy of America; - SPECIAL GUEST: Caleel, pseudonimo di Adrian R. Rednic, giovane YouTuber, conosciuto per i suoi interventi tematici su fantastico e fantasy (in particolare su “Il Signore degli Anelli, “Harry Potter” e “Game of Thrones”), autore di “La caduta dello Zentir”, primo volume della saga "I rinnegati di Arest".

We are joined by Lisa Fagin Davis, who is the Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America, to discuss the on-going mystery of the Voynich Manuscript. Housed in the Yale library, this 15th century manuscript is written in a language that can't be decoded. Lisa explains why so many theories about its meaning and creation just don't add up.

Time to revisit our reviews from two years ago. Istanbul, Medieval Academy, Codenames, and A Feast For Odin were the games we looked at then. Have our opinions changed or grown? Do we still own those games? How do we feel about them today? All answered on today's episode of Meeple Overboard!

In this week’s episode... We compete in the lists, slay dragons, and crack a book once in a while at the Medieval Academy We prowl tropical sea lanes for King and Country --- or maybe fortune and glory! --- in British vs. Pirates! We’re stuck in the center of horrifying, deadly danger in Survive: Space Attack!

Becoming a knight is not as easy as you might think. You have to practise your swordsmanship sure, but you also need to study hard, to work in the kings court, to woo the princess, to prove yourself on heroic quests and show that you are charitable by giving to the poor. And most importantly you have to be the best at all of this, better than the others training to be knights alongside you. With so much to do and not enough time what type of knight will you become? Will you be… Sir Maximus the greedy, who ignores the poor… Sir Nigel the not so brave, who refuses to go out and slay the dragon… Sir Darren the dunce, who really should spend more time hitting the books… or Sir Bruce the mediocre, who has a go at everything but never really excels at anything. Find out what… Continue reading

We’re joined by two guests - Niall Christie and Michael Fulton - to talk about the papers they gave at the recent Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America. They reveal some of the new and interesting ways historians and archaeologists are studying the crusades and the medieval Middle East. Sorry about the audio we recorded at this conference, we know its not great but we thought the content was interesting enough to share. Next time we're on location we'll do better....

Jim O’Donnell - Libraries as Showcase, Showplace and Showroom On today’s episode we talk with Jim O’Donnell about the ongoing renovations of the Hayden Library on the campus of Arizona State University, and their goal to make the library a showcase, showplace and showroom for ASU students. Jim also shares his thoughts on taking inspiration from the world of retail to shape the future of academic libraries. We had several challenges to deal with in the production of this week’s show. The first of which was carving time out of Jim O’Donnell’s busy schedule. Jim had just returned from the 19th Annual Fiesole Collection Development Retreat in Lille, France the day before. This was the same conference that Leah Hinds attended as representative for Against The Grain. Due to the time difference between us on the east coast and Arizona State University, Jim started what was to become a very busy week for him by speaking with us at 7:30 in the morning his time. The other challenge involved the ever-present complexities of conducting remote interviews using the Internet. Each participant in today’s discussion was in a different location as usual, and between intermittent Internet connection dropouts and some occasional noise coming from Jim O’Donnell’s headset, our audio quality suffered a bit at times. Sound issues aside however, Dr. O’Donnell provided us with excellent insights we’ve come to expect from him. Our interviewer’s today are Tom Gilson, Associate Editor of Against The Grain; and Katina Strauch, Editor in Chief of Against the Grain and founder of the Charleston Conference. Dr. O’Donnell received his bachelor of arts degree at Princeton and doctorate from Yale. He served as provost and professor of classics at Georgetown University for a decade, after a career at Bryn Mawr, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania where he served as Vice Provost for Information Systems and Computing. He is a fellow of the Medieval Academy of America and served as president of the American Philological Association. He now chairs the board of directors of the American Council of Learned Societies. Dr. O’Donnell was a pioneer in the scholarly study of late antiquity. His edition of Augustine's *Confessions* is a standard, while his most recent books, Augustine: A New Biography, The Ruin of the Roman Empire, and Pagans bring cutting-edge scholarship to a wide audience. Dr. O’Donnell is also recognized as an innovator in the application of networked information technology in higher education having authored the book Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace. In 1990, he co-founded the Bryn Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students which deserves to be called the first MOOC. Currently, he is leading Arizona State University library through a reorganization process that includes a multimillion dollar renovation of the main Hayden library. As one of his colleagues has so aptly put it “Jim O'Donnell is both a brilliant scholar and a visionary about the future of information. He knows how to put together leadership teams, even as he thinks creatively about the nature of knowledge for students, researchers and the community.”

The Evolution of E-Books As we all know, the advent of the ebook have had a profound impact on libraries. What started as very tentative steps with NetLibrary at the turn of the millennium – this seems like a lifetime ago! - has rapidly evolved with the integration of digital content and services in libraries. The evolution from print to online has been a rocky and complicated journey, unlike the relatively smooth transition from print to online format for journals. Much has been written and said about the challenges and opportunities resulting from the ebook. Major challenges include ownership, preservation, discovery, accessibility, licensing and acquisition models, and usability. It’s time to take a step back and look at the remarkable evolution of the ebook – where have we come from, where are we today, and most importantly, where do we want the adoption or integration of ebooks to lead us? What does this mean for the iconic role of the monograph in libraries and in particular for the success of our students and faculty? Looking back can help us better understand the odyssey of the road ahead. What are the main drivers, challenges, and opportunities? Our panelists have significant and varying experiences with ebooks in libraries and they will bring us their insights and analyses. They will address various issues and challenges, guided by the questions below. Historical Perspective of eBooks: How have eBooks changed over time? What is your perspective on the evolution of the eBook? What do you like and/or don’t like? The Future of eBooks: What new developments are on the horizon? What are the latest models emerging? Will these changes meet the needs of students in higher education? What are the implications for academic libraries/students/educators? Impact: How will eBook reading impact literacy, reading, and learning in today’s world? Will this affect academic collection development? What philosophical challenges are posed as academic libraries embrace eBook collection development? Tony Horava (Moderator)- University of Ottawa, AUL Collections, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada I've been involved in Collections work for many years, and have seen remarkable transformations over the years. The challenges around ebooks, licensing, budgets, consortial strategies, new forms of knowledge and scholarly communications spring to mind. Reading in the digital age fascinates me - it is such a sea-change. The Charleston Conference is always energizing. I look forward to connecting with many people and hearing new ideas and innovative strategies on the various challenges we face. James O'Donnell - Arizona State University Libraries, University Librarian & Professor James J. O'Donnell is the University Librarian at ASU Libraries.He has published widely on the history and culture of the late antique Mediterranean world and is a recognized innovator in the application of networked information technology in higher education. In 1990, he co-founded Bryn Mawr Classical Review, the second on-line scholarly journal in the humanities ever created. In 1994, he taught an Internet-based seminar on the work of Augustine of Hippo that reached 500 students which deserves to be called the first MOOC. He has served as a Director, as Vice President for Publications, and as President of the American Philological Association; he has also served as a Councillor of the Medieval Academy of America and has been elected a Fellow of the Medieval Academy. He serves as Chair of the Board of the American Council of Learned Societies. His edition of Augustine's *Confessions* is a standard, while his most recent books, Augustine: A New Biography, The Ruin of the Roman Empire, and Pagans bring cutting-edge scholarship to a wide audience. His work of most relevance to issues of libraries today and tomorrow may be found in his 1998 book, Avatars of the Word: From Papyrus to Cyberspace. David Durant - East Carolina University, Federal Documents and Social Sciences Librarian My professional interests focus on the importance of preserving and ensuring access to legacy print collections in the digital library environment. This is an especially pressing issue in federal documents, where my institution is a member of the ASERL Collaborative Federal Documents Program, but also for broader monographic collections as well. I'm also interested in the ways in which technology is altering the ways in which we read and think, and the broader societal implications of these changes.

He was the founder in 2000 of BookSurge the world’s first integrated global print-on-demand and publishing services company (sold to Amazon.com in 2005 and re-branded as CreateSpace).
