This comprehensive and no-nonsense guide to working with special collections and rare books is an essential day-to-day companion. Working with special collections can vary dramatically from preserving a single rare book to managing and digitizing vast mixed-media archives, yet the role of the information professional is always critical in tapping into the potential of these collections, protecting their legacy and bringing them to the attention of the wider public. This book offers up-to-date guidance which pulls together insights from best practice across the heritage sector to build innovative, co-operative and questioning mind-sets that will help them to cope in turbulent times. The Handbook covers all aspects of special collections work: preservation, developing collections, understanding objects, emergency planning, security, legal and ethical concerns, cataloguing, digitization, marketing, outreach, teaching, impact, advocacy and fundraising. New to this edition: coverage of new standards and concepts including unique and distinctive collections (UDCs), The Leeds Typology, Archive Accreditation, PD 5454:2012 and PAS 197 discussion of the major changes to laws affecting special collections including UK copyright law relating to library/archive exception and orphan works and forthcoming changes to data protection in the EU exploration of new trends in research including the rise of digital humanities, open access, the impact agenda and the REF updates to the sections on marketing, audience development and fundraising to include social media, customer journey mapping and crowdsourcing and more consideration of impact and indicators, digitization and new skills frameworks from CILIP and RBMS.

Au cœur du Centre Pompidou, la Bibliothèque publique d'information. Immense réservoir de documents de toute nature - livres, journaux, photographies, disques, films - et sur tous les sujets, complété par une Salle d'Actualité consacrée à la présentation des dernières parutions, cette médiathèque d'un genre nouveau accueille chaque jour plusieurs milliers de personnes qui viennent y puiser librement, au gré de leurs désirs ou de leurs besoins. Cela méritait bien une enquête sociologique. Qui sont ces visiteurs, et diffèrent-ils vraiment de ceux que l'on rencontre ailleurs ? La levée des barrages matériels de prix, d'horaires, d'accès aux documents et aux œuvres entraîne-t-elle une réduction des inégalités de la fréquentation culturelle ? Qu'en est-il de la concurrence entre les média : dans une situation où tous sont proposés à égalité, profite-t-elle à l'image au détriment du texte ? Y a-t-il un effet direct de la manière d'offrir sur la manière de consommer, et suffit-il de proposer le mélange des documents et des sujets pour que les gens pratiquent le mélange des genres ? Les visiteurs ne se coulent que partiellement dans les moules prévus par les bibliothécaires, et cultivent alternativement le savoir-faire et l'imprévu. Les tactiques les plus personnelles valent parfois les stratégies les plus rationnelles. Sans compter les mille et une façons de s'approprier symboliquement ou matériellement des documents par définition inappropriables puisque propriété de tous et consultables seulement sur place ; et les mille et une façons de privatiser cet espace public qu'il faut bien se résoudre à partager avec d'autres.

From cuneiform, coins, and codices to prints, drawings, photographs, and maps, departments of rare books and special collections are the premier repositories of significant printed and manuscript works and artefacts. Entrusted with the responsibility of preserving the records of history and culture, these institutions enable access to millions of source materials. Berger, a veteran of rare book and special collections, offers a landmark examination of this field. Showing readers everything they need to know about rare books and special collections, this wide-ranging book covers the following key topics: * The profession's history and its relevance in the face of an increasingly digital world * Archives' relationship to the special collections department and their role in the wider institution * Collection development, cataloguing, processing, physical layout, and other operational functions, with coverage of acquisition sources and methods * What everyone needs to know about the physical materials in their care, including preservation, conservation, and restoration, storage, handling, and security * Reference and outreach services, including a look at exhibitions and tours * Fundraising and financial management * Legal and ethical issues * Forgeries, fakes, and facsimiles * Bibliography and its impact on the rare book world, including a look at booksellers, donors, and auctions * The present state of books in our digital environment * The vocabulary of the trade. Readership: Aimed at practitioners in the library field, instructors teaching courses on the subject, booksellers, private collectors, historians, bibliophiles, and others involved in rare and unique materials, Rare Books and Special Collections presents a meticulous and systematic understanding of this growing field.

"Academic E-Books: Publishers, Librarians, and Users provides readers with a view of the changing and emerging roles of electronic books in higher education. The three main sections contain contributions by experts in the publisher/vendor arena, as well as by librarians who report on both the challenges of offering and managing e-books and on the issues surrounding patron use of e-books. The case study section offers perspectives from seven different sizes and types of libraries whose librarians describe innovative and thought-provoking projects involving e-books. Read about perspectives on e-books from organizations as diverse as a commercial publisher and an association press. Learn about the viewpoint of a jobber. Find out about the e-book challenges facing librarians, such as the quest to control costs in the patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) model, how to solve the dilemma of resource sharing with e-books, and how to manage PDA in the consortial environment. See what patron use of e-books reveals about reading habits and disciplinary differences. Finally, in the case study section, discover how to promote scholarly e-books, how to manage an e-reader checkout program, and how one library replaced most of its print collection with e-books. These and other examples illustrate how innovative librarians use e-books to enhance users' experiences with scholarly works"--
