Alexandre Dossin, School of Music & Dance
Franz Liszt.   Sonata in b minor.

The 1973 Henle Edition is a facsimile of the most important piano work by Franz Liszt.   This item will be used in Professor Dossin’s piano literature class.  Having it in the collection will make it possible for students to have easy access to this wonderful edition.

Alexandre Dossin, School of Music & Dance
Chopin Complete Works.    National Edition.

This is by far the best scholarly edition of Frederic Chopin's works that is available.   March 1, 2010 was the 200th anniversary of Chopin's birth, and this purchase commemorates that milestone and provides a wonderful opportunity to enrich the library collection with the best edition.

Revue de Qumran (missing issues)

Revue de Qumran is the premiere peer-reviewed journal on the Dead Sea Scrolls, and the main scholarly forum for publication and discussion of new texts. For many years it was the only journal devoted entirely to the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran, and was the official forum for the international editorial team. The articles are of a highly technical nature, often presenting the first publication of new texts with critical comments, and so even the first volumes retain their scholarly importance.

Variety (microfilm:  1942-1959 & 1960-1972)

Variety is one of the primary daily trade journals for the American film industry.    It provides an important primary source for the study of production, marketing, distribution and exhibition of films in the United States and around the world.   Variety supports scholarship that focuses on Hollywood both as an industry and a culture as well as the performance of race and ethnicity by Hollywood actors.

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Nachlass.  Bergen Electronic Edition.

This database contains the near-complete posthumous papers of Wittgenstein, one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century.   His influence extends beyond philosophy to literary studies, art history, architecture, linguistics and the humanities in general.  This e-edition will support research into Wittgenstein’s importance for contemporary literature.

The Complete Song Painting Collection (Song hua quan ji)

The Song paintings represent the very height of ancient Chinese arts.   This multi-volume set will collect all the extant paintings by Song literati from museums, libraries and private collections all over the world.   The Song dynasty (960-1279) represents a “new society” in many respects.   New schools of painting represented in this multi-volume catalogue give insights into political and religious concepts through the interpretations of the Song literary artists.

All-Russia Population Census 2002 (Chislennost’ sel’skogo naseleniia I ego razmeshchenie po territorii Moskovskoi oblasti : (itogi Vserossiiskoi perepisi naseleniia 2002 goda)

The 2002 Census is a crucial resource to scholars of post-Soviet society.    It permits independent analysis of social, economic and demographic change in this part of the world.   The Census also includes regional breakdowns that cover 11 time zones, dozens of independent regions and many ethnic and national autonomous republics.

Deborah Green, Judaic Studies                                                                                        
Collection of Hebrew Language texts in the area of rabbinic interpretative literature

These texts are central, primary sources for the study of rabbinic interpretation and important to scholars working on the development of interpretative traditions in the Bible, the medieval period of Jewish interpretation, the study of Jews in Islamic lands and the interplay in interpretations between Jewish and Islamic exegetes.  

Akiko Walley, Art History
The New History of World Art (Sekai bijutsu daizenshu Toyo hen)

This 18-volume set covers Asian, Southeast Asian, Central Asian, Indian and Middle Eastern art.   The value of this work lies not only in its highly sophisticated scholarly content, but also in its accompanying illustrations.   Each volume comes with nearly 500 high resolution full-color plates with captions in English and Japanese.  The series is a principle resource for any Asia-related art research and essential reading for graduate students in the field. 

Andrew Schulz, Art History
Les Catalogues des Salons

This multi-volume series is a facsimile reproduction of the original catalogues of the Salons des Academie des Beaux-Arts, the official exhibit of the Academy of Art in Paris.   As such, it is the official record of the exhibited artists at the Paris Salon and a critical reference resource for any historian studying the art and artists of the 19th century.   During most of the 19th century, it was the single most important event in the Western art world.  The work represents a virtually complete list of artists who were active during this period. 

2009

Alexandre Dossin, School of Music and Dance
Complete Piano Music of Earl Wild
Earl Wild is one of the few representatives of the great Romantic school of pianists still alive, and can be considered a direct link to Franz Liszt. It will be an excellent tool for our students to have access to these works in our collection.

Deborah Green, Religious Studies
Synopse zum Talmud Yerushalmi
This 7 volume set is a primary source synoptic critical edition of the Jerusalem Talmud. Each page presents all known manuscript versions of the text (seven columns in all), clearly laid out in column formation so that easy comparison can be made of the various texts.
These volumes provide a vital apparatus for those of us who study the philological and exegetical aspects of the Talmud. A change in a single word can change the meaning of an entire passage. As such, knowledge of all permutations is necessary in ascertaining the intent and meaning of any given text. I am finding the volumes indispensible in my research on rabbinic texts from the 3rd through 5th centuries.
In addition, the library does not own a Hebrew/Aramaic version of the Jerusalem Talmud that supplies the page and column numbering system rather than the Mishnaic numbering system.

Michael Stern, German & Scandinavian
Soren Kirkegaards Skrifter
I am writing a book on Kierkegaard at the moment, and these volumes are the only acceptable primary source material on Kierkegaard. The editions that the library currently owns are unacceptable and a scholar working on him cannot have a paper or book accepted with consulting these volumes. Kierkegaard is one of the most important philosophers of the 19th century and is referred to by scholars of literature, religion, and philosophy.

Daisuke Miyao, East Asian Languages
American Cinematographer, 1920-1949, Microform
Despite cinema’s innate status as a technological visual medium, scholars of cinema have tended to focus on analyses of stories and themes and their relations to sociopolitical and economic contexts.  Even when film styles are discussed, they are more likely to be analyzed only aesthetically (relationship to realism and impressionism, etc.).  Examination of how these stories and styles are realized during actual filmmaking has received less attention in both historical and theoretical study of cinema.  Integration of these two areas has been slow, partly because film studies is a relatively new academic discipline and scholars of literature, sociology, or area studies have interdisciplinarily studied films based on their own trainings.  Moreover, critical study of cinematography is indispensable to understand better the current environment of digitalized multimedia technologies as a dispersed phenomenon.  As a result of the high mobility of digital video cameras and the easy accessibility to editing software and online exhibition, new possibilities of cinematography have been discussed among filmmakers as well as spectators all over the world.  I am currently writing a book on the transnational history of cinematography, particularly focusing on the dialogic and conflicting relationship between Japan, Hollywood, and Germany.  I have been comparatively analyzing cinematography and critical discourses on cinematography, addressed in both film texts and documented texts.  American Cinematographer (1920-1949), the journal of the American Society of Cinematographers, is an essential primary source for scholars interested in the technologies of cinema to learn the historical as well as ongoing development of cinematography in the Hollywood film industry.  (The Knight Library owns the journal from 1950, but not earlier issues.)  Professor Michael Aronson and I are organizing a panel on cinematography at the Annual Meeting of the Society for Cinema and Media Studies in May 2009.  We believe our panel would initiate critical study of cinematography, and acquisition of the early issues of American Cinematographer in microform will be tremendously useful for the cinema studies community at the UO.

Michael Aronson, CAS, Cinema Studies
Variety, 1905-1929, Microform
One of the oldest trade magazines devoted to popular entertainment, Variety has been published since 1905, when it was launched by Sime Silverman as a weekly periodical covering vaudeville.  Beginning in 1907 the journal increasingly focused on the movie industry and it remains the primary source for information about the business of Hollywood. 
Both my research and teaching are primarily devoted to the history of the American movie business, and Variety provides a critical record of the industry as it has developed since the turn of the last century.  My current work involves two book-length projects on Hollywood cameramen and their work as cinematographers and this journal offers one of the most complete and accurate records for production information for the films and their personnel. 

Priscilla Pena Ovalle, CAS, Cinema Studies
Variety, 1929-1940, 32 reels, Microform
Industry analysis is a key component of my research and teaching methods.  As I complete my book manuscript on the production of Latina stars from the 1920s to the present, Variety will help me contextualize the financial decisions that the studios made as they were promoting Dolores Del Rio and Rita Cansino/Rita Hayworth films in the early part of the 20th century.  Access to such information will also provide my students with a valuable resource for honing their film research skills; experience with the Variety collection will enhance their understanding of the early film industry practices that linger in contemporary Hollywood.

David Tyler, Chemistry
Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry III
This series of books is a comprehensive overview of organometallic chemistry, a modern hybrid field of chemistry at the interface of the traditional fields of organic chemistry and inorganic chemistry. These books will have immediate impact on both research and teaching. No other books or journal articles cover practical aspects of doing laboratory work. Therefore, the books would be a valuable resource for students learning how to do something new in a lab and for learning new techniques. Other valuable aspects of COC III are the chapters on research applications. Written by experts, the informed speculation in these chapters is found nowhere else in the chemical literature. With today’s emphasis on societal benefits of research, the material in these chapters is the type of information that, if included in a grant proposal, is often what makes the difference on whether or not it gets funded. The potential impact this information will have on securing grant funding for UO faculty makes COC III an outstanding investment.
Because it is a modern and active area of research, organometallic chemistry is taught in a large number of courses at the UO, from the sophomore level up to the graduate levels. (Currently, our graduates are suffering because there is not a suitable, up to date textbook.) All faculty and students involved in any of these many classes would benefit from COC III because the quality of the courses would dramatically improve.

 

2007

Martin Luthers Werke. Weimarer Ausgabe: Abt. 4. Auflage 2003-09 submitted by Alexander Mathas, German and Scandinavian. Because of Martin Luther's enormous influence on Western culture, language, and literature, this collection is essential for cultural historians, Germanists, philosophers, theologians, and philologists to have access to his complete works in the German.

Britain in India, 1765-1905 submitted by Randall McGowen, History. This six-volume set of scarce primary source materials offers evidence of the often subtle relationship between Britain and India during the period of imperial expansion. The collection includes pamphlets, parliamentary reports, petitions, and memoirs.

Photoplay submitted by Priscilla Ovalle and Michael Aronson, English (Film Studies). PHOTOPLAY is one of the first film magazines, helping to set the precedent for the celebrity magazines of today. Its influence spanned both the film industry and Hollywood/celebrity reception in the United States. This microform covers 1929-1941, and will be an asset to various Film/Media Studies Classes with any historical and/or reception components including Film History, Exhibition Reception, Studio System, Race and Representation, and Fan Culture.

Sefarad submitted by David Wacks, Romance Languages. This journal deals with philology and textual criticism of the bible and its ancient versions, with the history and culture of the Jews in Spain, as well as with the language, literature, history and cultural production of the Sephardic people and of the people of the ancient biblical east. It also publishes research into the philology and linguistics of the Hebraic and Aramaic languages. This journal is an essential testimony to Spain's view of its Jewish past and of the culture of the Jews expelled from Spain.

Multilateral treaty calendar-Répertoire des traités multilatéraux, 1648-1995 submitted by Ronald Mitchell, Political Science. This volume is considered the source for multilateral treaties of all sorts but is especially useful for treaties to which the United States is not a member.

Die Nemertinen des Golfes von Neapel und der angrenzenden Meeres-Abschnitte submitted by Alan Shanks, Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (Biology). This work is a rare and important monograph on the phylum Nemertea (ribbon worms) from the Mediterranean Sea. The nemerteans are un-segmented worms and compared to many other groups of marine invertebrates have received little study over the years. This volume contains a treatise of nemertean biology as well as original descriptions of nemertean species with wonderfully accurate color illustrations of live specimens (and their anatomy).

2006

The Greenwood Library of American War Reporting submitted by Kathryn Campbell, Journalism.
