Rare and Special Books. For my students in Rare Books and Special Collections Librarianship and other inquiring minds. Friday, February 28, 2014. Here's what concerns me. There were few variations in what was selected. Was that because I mentioned the reference tools in my lectures? Or suggested you practice them? If that's the case, then are you looking at rare book reference tools that are in your libraries? On your reference shelves? What is the date range for the entries? Links to this post. Listenin...

Rare and Special Books. For my students in Rare Books and Special Collections Librarianship and other inquiring minds. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Where we read makes a difference. Take the time to read a book slowly, ravenously, deliciously, and even ponderously. Listen to different narrators, see a play, watch a movie, and read the book. How do the stories and experiences differ. Now consider how our ancestors interacted with the story teller. In the end, the interaction is the same. Edmond Hoyle, Gent.
