INFO-689 Rare Books and Special Collections: The course serves as an integral part of the special collections concentration with a particular focus on bibliography and the printed book. It is an overview to gain an understanding of issues related to reference, cataloging, exhibitions, acquisitions and conservation in rare books and special collections libraries. Students will engage actual special collections materials to gain a first-hand understanding of proper handling, basic care, and preservation techniques in rare book collections as well as practical knowledge of reference sources and rare book reading room policies.
This exhibition highlights five unique examples of interactive trade catalogues and looks at how each company’s design choices affected consumers. The examples were pulled from Archives and Special Collections at Columbia Univeristy’s Avery Library of Art and Architecture and the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
