Jessica Gardner, University of Cambridge This paper will explore the changing research library environment from the perspective of a library director. Set against the backdrop of the ‘wicked problem’ of rapid change in the scholarly communications landscape and the idea of the open library, the presentation will draw on case studies from Cambridge to share honest reflections on current leadership challenges. The paper will consider the mission and position of the library in the academy, and strategies to avoid ‘sleepwalking into the future’.

The opportunity to engage actively with British content that is educational, entertaining and deeply enlightening is here. Technology exists to drive forward a vision of intelligent environments that supply the right information to the right person at the right time. Paradoxically, what is missing is the depth of digitised content to make such technical developments more significant than mere playthings. To achieve a Digital Britain that is educated and ready to exploit these new technologies, the treasure house of British content has to be digitised much more comprehensively. For the intelligent Digital Britain we need beautiful information, authentic data, validated content and a critical mass that will drive economic impact, research innovation and social benefits.

Success is a combination of letters which has been repeated in everyday life nowadays. However, one of the biggest problems might be faced by humankind is to understand precisely the concept of success (Jordan, G.M., 2013). Unfortunately, success is literally a word which cannot be described in words. Defining success effectively, people may keep their eyes on some successful stories of the great people. This essay will do a research on two legends’ success, René Descartes and Walt Disney, followed by cited their famous quotes: “Cogito ergo sum” and “If you can dream it, you can do it” (Brainy Quote, 2013). After comparing and evaluating their successful stories, it illustrates the difference aspects of the meaning of success in life; one opinion of having succeeded is to identify someone’s own intrinsic figure; whereas another perspective is far beyond. Being successful could be based on the realization of their dream and motivation to make it become reality; success is seemed to be able to see as an extrinsic tangible object by the result of reaching human’s dream.

On 21st April we welcomed Dr Martin Poulter former 'Wikimedian in Residence' at the Bodleian Library to learn how the Wikimedia suite of tools can extend the reach and impact of research to support teaching and learning. Martin talked about his work as a Wikimedian, and some of the projects at the Bodleian that demonstrate the combined use of Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia to extend the reach and impact of research outputs. Wikimedia also aligns with the University of Leeds Libraries Vision for 2030: Knowledge for all, and Open Research Advisor Nick Sheppard discussed how we are planning to work with Martin as part of our open research strategy. Wikipedia, "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" is one of the most visited website in the world. Perhaps less well-known are a wide range of related projects under the Wikimedia umbrella. - Wikimedia Commons is a repository of openly licensed media files including photographs, diagrams, video and audio - Wikisource is a free library of out-of-copyright texts Wikiversity and Wikibooks encourage collaborative creation of open educational resources (OERs) - Wikidata is a store of structured data that can be read and edited by humans or machines.

On the occasion of the observance of the 966th demise anniversary of Abu Rayhan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Biruni (973 – 1048 AD), Abu Rayhan Biruni Foundation, Dhaka, considering the backwardness of contemporary Muslim scholars in the fields of scientific, philosophical, religious and literary studies as well as persisting conflicts among various groups of people throughout the world, announces The First International Interdisciplinary Conference on the Contribution of Muslim Scholars to Science, Philosophy, Religion and Literature and hereby calls for informative academic research papers by scholars at home and abroad. Abu Rayhan Biruni was born on 5 September 973 AD in Kath in the region of Khawarizm of what was then Iran (nowadays Uzbekistan) and died on 13th December 1048 AD in the city of Ghazni, the capital city of the Ghaznavid ruler. He was a visionary and highly renowned philosopher and scientist. He contributed to the fields of science, philosophy, history, literature, culture, religion and society. His generous views and extensive efforts contributed to the historical, philosophical, scientific and inter-cultural development of a world marked by intellectuality and humanism as well as coexistence and peace.

This statement on the passing of Ehsan Yarshater on 2 September 2018 was issued jointly by the Ehsan Yarshater Center for Iranian Studies of Columbia University in the City of New York, the Persian Heritage Foundation, and the Encyclopaedia Iranica Foundation on 4 September 2018 in New York City; it is also available on the website of the Encyclopaedia Iranica at http://www.iranicaonline.org/pages/prof-yarshater-joint-stmnt

To build bridges across Persian and Iranian Studies programs, scholars from New York University’s Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies Department and the Gallatin School (ISI-NYU), Princeton University’s Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies, and the University of Pennsylvania’s Middle East Center announce the Iran Graduate Student Workshop (IGSW). The workshop will provide a valuable venue for academic exchange and production, giving distinguished young scholars of the field an unrivalled opportunity to present and promote their research. On May 4-5, 2018, the University of Pennsylvania will host the second gathering of this joint workshop, to be followed by similar meetings at the other campuses every two years. This second workshop in 2018 will consist of PhD students that are near ABD status and preparing their dissertation proposals (i.e., typically in their 2nd or 3rd year of graduate work). In addition, the first cohort will participate again, as discussants, in the 2018 workshop, as they approach the end of their graduate work. Applicants for the second round, in 2018, must focus on modern Iran (roughly 18th-20th centuries), other countries of the Persianate world, or diasporas, or conduct relational histories and comparative work; and will be drawn from disciplines and programs in the humanities and social sciences, including anthropology, art history, economics, history, literature, politics, sociology, and related fields.

The first lecture will introduce the phenomenon of shrines in Central Asian history and then focus on a shrine at Balkh and the way society’s needs shaped its different legacies. The second lecture considers the ways in which a shrine could encourage formaƟ on of an individual tradition of exclusive claim to the shrine and its material benefits and how that tradion on led to the formation of a new city. The third lecture suggests how the meaning of a building conceived to commemorate the glory of an individual and his descendants could be reshaped to legitimize new ideologies and the final lecture considers the sacred space created by a holy artefact and the ways in which its community exploited that space. All the lectures will link the ever-changing architecture to the societal contexts.

On the occasion of the 4th international conference of the Perso-Indica project (http://www.perso-indica.net/), we would like to consider our main object of research—the Persian translations and original works bearing on Indic cultures—in a wider perspective than has generally been the case. We aim to do so by comparing the Indo-Persian movement of translation that took place in the subcontinent from the 13th century onwards with other processes of translations operating primarily from and to non-Muslim languages (e.g. Greek, Syriac, Pehlevi, Sanskrit into Arabic, etc.; Arabic into Latin; Greek into Ottoman Turkish, etc.) and, secondarily, between different languages of Muslim societies (e. g. Arabic into Persian, Turkish, Malay, Sub-Saharan languages, etc.; Persian into Urdu, Turkish, Malay, etc.). We have therefore invited contributions bearing on such movements of translation in different regions of the Muslim world between the 7th and 19th centuries, and highlighting the ways in which each specific translation process articulated the relation between source, “bridge” and target languages.

Philosophical debates, many of them involving the reception of modern Western philosophical doctrines, are a crucial factor shaping intellectual and practical behaviour of many thinkers in the Islamicate world and their audiences. One Western philosopher receiving a particularly lively reception throughout the Islamicate World is Martin Heidegger. This conference explores various aspects of the reception of Heidegger in the Arabic, Iranian, and Turkish intellectual context. Admission to the keynote lectures is free and no prior registration is required. If you wish to attend panels, please contact HeideggerConferenceBern@gmail.com.

Relations between the Fatimid caliphate and its neighbour and opponent, the Umayyad caliphate of al-Andalus constitute a field of study that merits careful and extensive consideration. Scholarship has tended to study both dynasties separately and the existing entanglements between the two caliphates have been noted, albeit briefly, in a number of academic publications. The project Fatimids and Umayyads: Competing Caliphates endeavours to place both dynasties in context by creating an academic forum in which to reflect upon and illustrate the processes and mechanisms of interaction, and also to explore and problematise the existence of crosspollination. Various scenarios (historical, social, intellectual, economic, legal, theological, religious, cultural, technical, visual, and artistic) are considered in order to assess affinities, as well as discrepancies, connections and contrasts with regard to how these shaped the Fatimid impact on Umayyad dominions and vice versa.

This international conference is meant to be a forum for exchange of ideas about environmental history, and methods and theories, by scholars engaged in the study of the pre-modern Islamic world. Papers from the fields of history, historical geography, archaeology and art history, natural sciences, and historical anthropology are most welcome, as well as studies of a more theoretical (bust historically grounded) nature. We welcome the participation of doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars, as well as senior scholars. The chronological coverage is the period of the Islamic Conquests until the early nineteenth-century (pre-Tanzimat), with a geographical coverage of all regions of the world under the control of an Islamic regime. While our focus remains the Mamluk (and the larger “Middle Islamic”) period of the 13th-16th centuries and the territories of the Mamluk state – and while we aim to promote environmental lines of inquiry in Mamluk Studies – this conference encourages transregional and comparative approaches and particularly welcomes papers from Ottoman Studies.

The conference brings together researchers working on Shia minorities outside of the so-called “Muslim heartland” (North Africa, Middle East, Central and South Asia). The conference focuses on Shia minorities in Western and Eastern Europe, North and South America, Sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia that emerged out of migration from the Middle East and South Asia in the 20th and 21st centuries, in particular. The papers presented at the conference offer unique comparative insights into Shia minorities in a variety of contexts across the globe. The conference is organised by the new Chester Centre for Islamic Studies and held in conjunction with a research project on transnational Shia networks that operate between Britain and the Middle East, funded by the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
