ANA SCHEDULE 

   The American Numismatic Association has published the 
   schedule for the upcoming convention in Philadelphia.  The 
   full schedule is posted on the ANA's web site at: 
   http://www.money.org/annualcvnschphi.html 

   Not a "Great Debate" or even a not-so-great debate 
   anywhere on the agenda...  Still, there will be several events 
   of interest to numismatic bibliophiles and researchers: 

   NBS activities include our annual general meeting, which will 
   take place at 11:30 AM in Room 201C of the Convention 
   Center.   More details in future issues. 

   NBS will also host a Numismatic Literature Symposium. 
   Moderated by NBS Board member Dr. Joel Orosz, the 
   symposium will be held on Friday, August 11, from 2 pm to 
   3:30 (in the same room as the general meeting earlier that day). 
   Participants include NBS Board member Pete Smith, who will 
   be speaking on the books published about the Philadelphia Mint, 
   and Eric Newman, who will be discussing one of the earliest 
   authors on a numismatic topic in the United States, Beale 
   Bordley. Other events of interest for numismatic bibliophiles 
   include the following Numismatic Theater talks: 

   "Exploring the Digital Library",  by ANA Librarian Nawana 
   Britenriker (August 9, 11am) 

   "Noted Philadelphia Numismatic Dealers and Collectors 
   1850-present", by NBS Board member and past president 
   P. Scott Rubin (August 9, 5 pm) 

   "First the Book: Building a Core Numismatic Library", by 
   COIN WORLD editor Beth Deisher (August 13, 9am) 

   NBS members and E-Sylum subscribers (in addition to those 
   named above) make up a large percentage of presenters at 
   the convention, including John Adams, Q. David Bowers, 
   Richard Doty, Michael Fey, George Fuld, David Ganz, Greg 
   and Lisa Heim, David Lange, Tom Sheehan, Bob Van Ryzin, 
   John & Nancy Wilson, and Myron Xenos. Did I miss anyone? 
   Great job, folks!
