New design

John, Junko, and I have met to work on the theme design. We chose a theme called Weaver II, which has a narrow header image that won’t clog up a screen and hide the posts.

We changed the header to a cropped image of Plimpton Cuneiform 322, from our own RBML. More info here. John in particular liked this portion of the image because it has a BREAK, as in ‘breaking the code.’

We weren’t able to change the color of the background, but we thought it went well with the browns of the cuneiform. Hope you agree! Tell us in the comments!

Karen Green has worked at the Columbia University Libraries as librarian for Ancient & Medieval History since 2002, and has been the Graphic Novels librarian since 2005. In 2015, she also became adjunct curator for Comics and Cartoons in Columbia’s Rare Book & Manuscript Library. She has a B.A. from NYU in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, an M.A. and M.Phil. from Columbia University in Medieval History, and an M.L.I.S. from Rutgers University. Karen believes that no one is defined by the relatively narrow set of interests that constitute their official job responsibilities (evidenced, at the very least, by her expansion into comics three years into her job at Columbia). Having lived in New York City since 1978, and loved the city since first visiting in 1969, she is particularly excited by the historical exploration that drives the Morningside Project. Her subject of inquiry is the Lion Brewery, once situated on Columbus Avenue between 107th and 109th Streets, a choice driven in part by her fifteen years as a bartender in NYC (1978-1993).
