ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN STUDIES LIBRARY & SEMINAR ROOM
The Ancient Near Eastern Studies Library/Seminar Room is located in Barrows 12. It provides a wide range of reference works, text editions and primary sources for the study of the Ancient Near East, including Sumerian, Akkadian, Hittite, Archaeology, and Art History.
The room is provided with AirBears wireless access as well as with wired Internet connections; a computer for general use is available.
A searchable catalogue of the Seminar Room is available at
http://librarything.com/catalog/UCBMesopotamia (use the "suggested style" link in the upper left corner). Books and other resources are non-circulating and may not leave the room. The room is used for seminars and small classes and may be reserved for small-scale events (maximum 12) that are related to Ancient Near Eastern studies. A data-projector is available. Graduate students who need access to the room may obtain a key by contacting Niek Veldhuis (veldhuis@berkeley.edu).
The Ancient Near Eastern Seminar Room houses two Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (ORACC) projects: the Digital Corpus of Cuneiform Lexical Texts (DCCLT) under the directorship of Niek Veldhuis and Hellenistic Babylonian Texts Images and Names (HBTIN) directed by Laurie Pearce.
