Research opportunities in the Modern Greek Collection in the Classics Library at the University of Cincinnati

Abstract

From its inception in the early 1930s, the Modern Greek Collection in the University of Cincinnati's John Miller Burnam Classical Library has been a vital resource for the study of Hellenism as a continuum from prehistory to the present. While the Modern Creek Collection focuses' on Byzantium and modern Greece, the Library's Classics Collection is a major international research resource in the area of Classical Studies. Whether from its use by University of Cincinnati faculty and students or visiting scholars or through broader sharing of its resources by way of OhioLINK or interlibrary loan, the Classics Library encourages access to its resources to further the study of Hellenism internationally. Taken as a whole, the Classics Library's Greek materials serve as a particularly rich resource for research in any aspect of Greek studies. However, collection development and management issues for Greek publications must be addressed to ensure that this collection continues to be a major resource in the field.
