Renaissance scholar and UI English Professor Blaine Greteman will discuss and demonstrate his digital project, \u201cShakeosphere,\u201d which has mined information about publishers, booksellers, printers, and authors from half a million books published between 1473 and 1800. Shakeosphere uses this data to map relationships between these people, so that we can discover how Shakespeare and his contemporaries were connected by a rapidly changing communications network. By employing some of the same algorithms that Facebook uses to find your friends \u2013 or the NSA uses to find potential terrorists \u2013 Greteman and the team working on Shakeosphere are also able to identify the \u201chubs\u201d in this network. This talk will explain some of the ways that such work reveals a hidden history of the printers, publishers, and booksellers who gave us Shakespeare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/events.uiowa.edu\/event\/iowa_bibliophiles_present_blaine_greteman_shakeosphere_visualizing_shakespeares_networks?utm_campaign=widget&amp;utm_medium=widget&amp;utm_source=University+of+Iowa#.WBpP002Qy70\">View this event in the Campus Events Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"page-title\" class=\"title\">UI Libraries&#8217; and UICB William Anthony Conservation Lecture with Barb Korbel<\/h4>\n<div class=\"tabs\">\u00a0Date: Thursday, November 10, 2016 &#8211; 6:00pm<\/div>\n<div class=\"region region-content\">\n<div id=\"block-system-main\" class=\"block block-system\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div id=\"node-2981\" class=\"node node-event node-promoted clearfix\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-event-location field-type-text-long field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<p>Location: 2032 Main Library<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden\">\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<p>Join us at the Main Library for the third annual William Anthony Conservation Lecture featuring Barbara Korbel.

Despite the Cubs&#8217; World Series game, 750+ kids and parents from across the region wandered from room to room, played in a Renaissance village, learned a period dance, played games like throwing skulls with Hamlet, made crafts like paper ruffs, wrote with quill pens, made Shakespeare buttons with\u00a0a University of Iowa Librarian, and even met The Bard himself (played by Shakespeare Professor Adam Hooks from the Department of English). \u00a0Many thanks to the Iowa City\/Coralville Convention and Visitor&#8217;s Bureau whose grant funding helped make this year such a success.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4859 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a

Science Fiction Convention, October \u00a028-30, 2016<\/h4>\n<p>University of Iowa Special Collections made our yearly trip to the ICON Science Fiction Convention in Cedar Rapids, now in its 41st year. In addition to running an information table about our science fiction collections and the Hevelin Fanzine Digitization Project, special collections librarians updated the community on the progress processing and digitizing the Rusty Hevelin Science Fiction Collection, taught sessions about Gene Wilder, and along with UI Librarian Lisa Martincek, taught a session about using University Library resources as a writer. \u00a0The ICON community designated The Hevelin Collection digitization as one of the recipients of proceeds from their annual charity auction. A previous fundraising effort from the community in 2014 <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/2015\/07\/28\/science-fiction-fans-raise-1955-to-support-hevelin-collection-digitization\/\">raised $1955.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4891\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_120932_resized-300x197.jpg\" alt=\"A woman and a girl sitting at a UI Libraries table\" width=\"250\" height=\"164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_120932_resized-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_120932_resized-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_120932_resized.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4890 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_134636-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"A group of people dressed as Klingons\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_134636-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_134636-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_134636-195x110.jpg 195w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161029_134636.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4883\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161030_120415-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pete and Laura presenting at ICON\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161030_120415-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161030_120415-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/11\/20161030_120415.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Halloween Guests in Special Collections:<\/h2>\n<p>Princess Elsa and the Winter Soldier visited the library this week.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/t:3mLtHzsK6BIRvCBTi__CBw\/152570764677\/v2\" data-did=\"af155e47fa0149d604d1637a4a5820775be73efa\"  ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/uispeccoll\/152570764677\/the-winter-soldier-dropped-by-today-to-check-out\">https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/uispeccoll\/152570764677\/the-winter-soldier-dropped-by-today-to-check-out<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js?_v=38df9a6ca7436e6ca1b851b0543b9f51\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"tumblr-post\" data-href=\"https:\/\/embed.tumblr.com\/embed\/post\/t:3mLtHzsK6BIRvCBTi__CBw\/152561571747\/v2\" data-did=\"f72e3aa69843009a9b1bda8e6d925be4d2db3fed\"  ><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/uispeccoll\/152561571747\/the-disney-princess-elsa-graced-us-with-her\">https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/uispeccoll\/152561571747\/the-disney-princess-elsa-graced-us-with-her<\/a><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/assets.tumblr.com\/post.js?_v=38df9a6ca7436e6ca1b851b0543b9f51\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>From the Web and Social Media:<\/h2>\n<p>Twitter recently announced that they will be closing down Vine, a social media platform for short looping videos that we have been using to bring you &#8220;box opening&#8221; videos showing our new acquisitions as they arrive. \u00a0Stayed tuned to this space as we soon reveal our new plans to bring you similar content in a new way.<\/p>\n<p>Our delightful Hawkeye Ghost says goodbye to Vine and expresses our feelings better than we can do in this space:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/vine.co\/v\/5paarQzXYur<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.givetoiowa.org\/GiveToIowa\/WebObjects\/GiveToIowa.woa\/wa\/goTo?area=libraries\">Donate to the University Libraries\u2019 Special Collections Fund<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Want to stay connected?
