Successfully managing rare book collections requires very specific
knowledge and skills. This handbook provides that essential
information in a single volume. Rare Book Librarianship for the
21st Century is the first new rare books handbook of practice in 25
years. Authored by two special collections experts with extensive
field experience, this book is also the first to discuss the role
of digital technologies in managing a rare book collection. After a
fascinating discussion of the history and current state of rare
book libraries, this handbook provides a comprehensive account of
the core skills and knowledge needed to be a successful rare book
librarian. Topics include best practices for handling, housing, and
conserving rare materials; collection development techniques; and
user education and outreach. This book will serve as a handbook for
practitioners in academic settings, large public libraries, and
special libraries, and as a textbook for students in MLIS courses
on rare book librarianship and curatorship. Provides a bibliography
of reference resources for rare book librarians Includes sidebars
with examples drawn from real-life experience
