Summer in the Library

It's been far too long since the last post! What has happened in the time since we've been quiet? Fiona left the library; she is currently on her way to teach English in South Korea. Yay for her, definitely a loss for the library.

Here in the library, we've been talking about what's going to happen while we are down one person, and no real decisions have been made yet, but as soon as they are, I'll post something about it. In the meantime, this may be old news, but have you seen the news release about the Codex Sinaiticus?

The Codex Sinaiticus lived at the Monastery of St. Catherine in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula until 1859, when it was divided up between its home, Britain, Germany, and Russia. Basically, the Codex is the surviving pieces of a 1,600 year old Christian Bible written in Greek. Scholars from all four of the countries have agreed to collaborate and make the text of the Codex available online.
