Abstract:
In the introduction to Rare Books and Special Collections, author Sidney E. Berger writes that the book aims to be an overview, “of the realm” (xv), and the text presents itself as an omnibus from someone who has extensive experience and knowledge of the field. A novice or an outsider to the rare books and special collections world will gain a broad understanding about its diversity from this work, but experienced librarians and other practitioners might consider it more for refreshing concepts or ideas introduced in their schooling, but not as a ready reference.

Abstract:
It is not uncommon for a university to house its special collections library in the “old” library building. The character of the architecture and the connection with the university’s past often fit with the mission of collecting and preserving rare books, manuscripts, and university archives. A beautiful old library can inspire both librarians and researchers. However, it also can be the downfall of the very collections we treasure. Many older libraries now housing rare and valuable special collections materials have out-of-date and inadequate environmental control systems, if they have any at

This article summarizes and contextualizes the discussions of a workshop held at Durham University in November 2018. In this workshop, participants (including academics, students, independent scholars, special and rare books librarians, and archivists) discussed the notion of the collection (that is, the identity of collection as a whole, rather than just its constituent parts), and its potential to serve as a means of engaging both scholarly and public audiences with early book cultures. This study sets out a series of considerations and questions that might be used when tackling such special
