> Subscribers to ARLIS-L may find the following Rare Book School courses to be o
> particular interest:
>
> 21: The Printed Book in the West to 1800. The introduction and spread of
> printing in Europe; the development of book design and illustration; the rise
> of the publishing industry; freedom and the regulation of the press; the
> increase in literacy and its social consequences; the traffic in printed matte
> and the growth of personal and institutional collections; the impact of the
> Industrial Revolution. Intended for those who have a limited background but a
> considerable interest in the history of the book, and who expect, sooner or
> later, to take the other two courses in this RBS sequence (The Medieval Book
> and The Printed Book in the West since 1800), both scheduled to be offered in
> RBS 2001's summer session. Instructor: Martin Antonetti.
>
> 22: Printed Ephemera. Underpinning the course is the view that ephemera deserv
> serious attention from business and social historians, from design and printin
> historians, and from those with curatorial responsibilities for collections of
> paperbased materials. The course will address ephemera from several different
> directions, but principally with the needs of the curator and collector in
> mind. It will focus on c19 Englishlanguage ephemera, though the general issues
> raised relate to all periods and also to foreignlanguage material. Classes wil
> consist of a mix of illustrated talks on specific topics, discussion periods,
> and sessions spent looking at original items. Issues to be covered include the
> processes used in the production of ephemera (in particular, transfer
> lithography and chromolithography); acquisitions policies and strategies;
> describing and cataloging ephemera, and the associated issues of dating,
> terminology, and the digitization of collections. Instructor: Michael Twyman.
>
> 34: Rare Book Cataloging. Aimed at catalog librarians who find that their
> present duties include (or shortly will include) the cataloging of rare books
> or special collections materials.Attention will be given both to cataloging
> books from the handpress period and to c19 and c20 books in a special
> collections context. Topics include: comparison of rare book and general
> cataloging; application of codes and standards (especially DCRB); uses of
> special files; problems in transcription, collation and physical description;
> setting cataloging policy within an institutional context. Instructor: Deborah
> J. Leslie.
