Join us Sept. 16 for Artist and Influence with
Mendi and Keith Obadike
Emory’s Rose Library proudly serves as the repository for the Camille Billops and James V. Hatch Archives. In 1981, Billops and Hatch began publishing Artist and Influence, a journal dedicated to preserving the oral histories of artists, art historians, filmmakers, and writers. For decades, the two coordinated over 1,500 interviews, with more than 400 appearing in print.
The Rose Library is launching a new installation of the “Artist and Influence” interview series on Saturday, Sept. 16 with special guests Mendi + Keith Obadike, multidisciplinary artists who create works of art, sound, and music. The program will be held 4–5:30 p.m. in Ackerman Hall in the Carlos Museum, with the reception to follow from 5:30–6:30 p.m. at the Rose Library, Level 10 of the Woodruff Library, near the Carlos.

Scholarly Communications Office gets a new website
The Emory Libraries Scholarly Communications Office (SCO) website content has a new home. The overall project goal was to relocate the content of SCO’s legacy site to the Emory Libraries website, adopting the style, navigation, and search capabilities of the Libraries site. This migration makes finding SCO web content easier for all Libraries site users and ensures quick access to all aspects of SCO’s services, including copyright, open access, publishing, and open education.
Also included is information about the two repositories managed by SCO staff: OpenEmory, a digital repository housing scholarly work by Emory faculty members, and Emory Theses and Dissertations, which houses work by Emory graduate students and College Honors Program undergraduate students.
