Librarians' Forum
3:00–5:00 pm
Radcliffe Gymnasium
The Librarians' Forum is envisioned as an occasional, library-wide gathering to introduce library staff to important research that's ongoing at Harvard and to provide a much-needed social and networking opportunity for us all.
January 21's schedule will include brief remarks by Robert Darnton, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor and Director of the University Library, and a presentation by Erez Lieberman-Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel, Harvard graduate students respectively in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Harvard Medical School. Working well outside the expected boundaries of their academic programs, Lieberman-Aiden and Michel, together with their colleagues Joe Jackson, Tina Tang, and Martin A. Nowak, published a groundbreaking article entitled "Quantifying the evolutionary dynamics of language" in the journal Nature. Working with Google, they are building tools that can scan massive collections of digital texts and quantify how often a word—say, communism—appears in those from a particular era and place. This makes it easy to observe the movement of ideas, culture, and language across time and space. There will be a Q&A, and refreshments will be provided. No RSVP is necessary.

Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice (1989), directed by William Greaves, and Jeannette Rankin, the Woman Who Voted No (1982) directed by Susan Cohen Regele.
Join the Schlesinger Library for an evening discovering the commonalities between two extraordinary women activists from the early 20th century. First we'll view an excerpt from the documentary Ida B. Wells: A Passion for Justice, highlighting a few of the many contributions Wells made for social change as an author and newspaper editor. Next we'll watch Jeannette Rankin, the Woman Who Voted No to see how Rankin, the first woman elected to Congress, stood up for her anti-war beliefs. A discussion with Marilyn Morgan and Emilyn Brown, manuscript catalogers at the Schlesinger Library, will follow the films.

Brown-Bag Lunch: "Researching the Reign of the King of the Lobby"
12:00–1:30 pm
Radcliffe Gymnasium
Marilyn Morgan, 617-384-8008 or marilyn_morgan@harvard.edu
Kathryn Allamong Jacob, curator of manuscripts at Radcliffe's Schlesinger Library, has just published her third book, King of the Lobby: The Life and Times of Sam Ward, Man-About-Washington in the Gilded Age (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009), with the help of a Bryant Fellowship and an EPDOP award. King of the Lobby is about delicious food, fine wines, and good conversation and how one suave New Yorker, Sam Ward, harnessed all three to create a new type of lobbying—social lobbying. In addition to finding wonderful material at Schlesinger, Houghton, and Widener, her research took her to a dozen repositories from coast to coast. Please feel free to bring your lunch; cookies will be provided by the Professional Development Committee of Librarians' Assembly, which is delighted to sponsor this presentation.
