Hoping to take this class!! hopefully it won't fill up before I can get in... LIS 689: Special Collections Institute Instructors: Kyle Triplett and Charles Carter Monday, 3:30-5:50 pm An overview to gain an understanding of issues related to reference, cataloging, exhibitions, acquisitions and conservation in a special collections library. Of particular interest will be the special collections at NYPL including the Rare Book Division and the Pforzheimer Collection. Planned visits include The Grolier Club and non-traditional special collections such as ephemera and music libraries. When possible, this course will include handling of cultural objects and viewing books. It will serve as an integral part of the special collections concentration and can be taken before or with Introduction to Archives and will serve as prerequisite or companion to the Rare Books class.
