Title: Enduring ephemera : an exhibition of rare pamphlets from the UM Library's Archives and Rare Books Collection Abstract: This exhibition of 70 pamphlets from the UM Library’s Archive collection aims to bring to light the diverse nature of this collection, consisting of pamphlets on a wide variety of topics ranging from accounts of maritime skirmishes during the time of the Order of St. John, to scientific papers and tourist guides printed in the early 1900s, leaflets for catechesis, political pamphlets calling for fairer conditions at the hands of the colonial government and debating the issue of the “language question”, and a number of other topics of interest. While most of the items on display were printed in Malta it is of added interest to note the range of languages used in these slim publications - including Italian, English, Portuguese, Spanish and earlier un-standardised versions of written Maltese.; Din l-esebizzjoni, li hi magħmula minn sebgħin ktejjeb meħudin mill-kollezzjoni tal-Arkivji tal-Librerija tal-Università ta’ Malta, għandha l-għan li titfa’ dawl fuq ilvarjetà wiesgħa ta’ din il-kollezzjoni, li tikkonsisti minn ktejbiet dwar suġġetti diversi li jvarjaw minn informazzjoni fuq ġlidiet marittimi matul iż-żmien tal-Ordni ta’ San Ġwann, għal studji xjentifiċi u gwidi għat-turisti, ipprintjati fil-bidu tas-seklu dsatax, fuljetti għall-katekiżmu, ktejbiet politiċi bl-għajta għal kundizzjonijiet aktar ġusti mill-Gvern kolonjali, u dibattiti fuq ilkwistjoni tal-lingwa, fost suġġetti ta’ interess oħrajn. Għad li ħafna minn dawn il-pubblikazzjonijiet esebiti kienu ppubblikati hawn Malta, wieħed jista’ jinnota li dawn inkitbu b’diversi lingwi - fosthom bit-Taljan, bl-Ingliż, bil-Portugiż, bl- Ispanjol u b’ortografija Maltija li ma kinitx għadha ġiet standardizzata.

Title: PLAS nature photography study tour exhibition Abstract: The Centre for the Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS), in collaboration with the University of Malta Library, is organizing an exhibition featuring photographs taken by seven students who followed the ‘Nature Photography Study Tour’ (LAS3003) within the University’s Programme in the Liberal Arts and Sciences (PLAS). The exhibition, which will be set up in the University Library’s foyer, will be inaugurated on 8 February and will run through 18 March. The photographs were taken in Sicily between the 12 and 14 June 2015. Coordinated by Mr Guido Bonett, who is also curating the exhibition, the study tour enabled the participants to experience and practice photography in conditions and habitats that are not typically found in the Maltese Islands. The first outing was to Bosco di Malabotta, a nature reserve in Messina, considered to be one of the last remaining natural woodland in Sicily. This was followed by Rocche Dell’Argimusco, a site characterized by the rock formations found here and the surrounding meadows, which provided the group with plenty of opportunities to photograph various species of butterflies. The second day saw the group travel to Syracuse to visit Riserva Naturale Pantalica - Valle Dell’Anapo, a UNESCO site. This impressive range of gorges, with waterfalls, lakes and streams, provided an adequate environment to photograph dragonflies, damselfies, wall lizards and a host of different flora. The last day of the tour was spent exploring parts of the Mount Etna National Park in the province of Catania. The black stark landscape provided the group with extraordinary opportunities for landscape photography.
