MLA International Bibliography
Indexing your favorite literary topics since 1922
Cubaliteraria is the Web portal of the Instituto Cubano del Libro (Cuban Book Institute), which governs the publishing, marketing and promotion of books and serials in Cuba and represents the Cuban government vis-a-vis writers, writers’ organizations and publishers.
The portal contains news, reviews and editorials, biographies of many Cuban writers with bibliographies of their works, and information about the annual Havana International Book Fair.
Combining the immediacy of a blog post with the rigor of a refereed journal, “middle state” publishing is gaining ground in the humanities. How does middle-state publishing — also known as “grey literature” — challenge our notions of what makes something “published”? Scholars wrestle with the import of this question for hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions, while librarians, archivists, and the MLA International Bibliography struggle to document and preserve emerging forms of scholarly communication. This session seeks papers that will engage with the question of what it means to publish. How might institutional repositories constitute a form of publication? How do new tools and methodologies suggest new categories for indexing and analysis? How do new categories of scholarly publication challenge and change how we keep the scholarly record? How do we archive emerging material?
