From EEdwards at ILSOS.GOV Thu Nov 9 19:15:25 2023 From: EEdwards at ILSOS.GOV (Edwards, Eric A) Date: Thu, 9 Nov 2023 19:15:25 +0000 Subject: [ArchivesSpCollig] registration open for ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section webinar "Cool Things We Cataloged"--Mon., Dec. 4, 2:00-3:15 PM CDT In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Please excuse any cross-posting. (via Andrea Schuba, University of Maryland) The Bibliographic Standards Committee of the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section invites you to the webinar ?Cool Things We Cataloged?. It will take place on Monday, December 4, from 2:00 to 3:15 PM CDT. Register here. Five speakers will explain the workflow, challenges, and information gained while cataloging interesting items found in their collections. Fashion show invitations Melissa Raymond is a Cataloging & Metadata Librarian at Watson Library, the central research library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She will be discussing her work cataloging a diverse collection of fashion show invitations - ranging from VR headsets to boardgames - acquired by the Met's Irene Lewisohn Costume Institute Library. Jackie Robinson comic books Daniela Rovida, Rare Books Cataloging and Metadata Librarian at the University of Notre Dame, will delve into the cataloging process of six exceptionally rare comic books dating from 1949 to 1952. These comics offer a compelling narrative detailing the life and achievements of Jackie Robinson, the baseball player who made history as the first African American to play in Major League Baseball during the twentieth century. Daniela will share cataloging challenges, useful resources, and the careful selection of subject headings and classifications. Moreover, Daniela will shed light on the significance of these comic books, which represent one of the earliest examples of publications to depict African American athletes. Pennsylvania Dutch tin nursing can Caitlin Lenox is the Artifact Cataloging Project Researcher at the Wangensteen Historical Library of Biology and Medicine at the University of Minnesota. One unique artifact Caitlin has cataloged was a Pennsylvania Dutch tin nursing can, one of two in a larger group of infant feeding artifacts originally found by pediatrician Dr. Robert Rosenthal. A key piece of research for identifying and cataloging this artifact originated from research done by another well-known medical artifact collector, Howard Dittrick, founder of the Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio. Reunionese Creole translation of Greek fables Natalie Kazmin will discuss cataloging a Reunionese Creole translation of Fables grecques. Translation is rarely straight-forward, particularly when trying to provide representation for a rather newly recognized language. Through Natalie's work with Fables grecques, translated by Reunionese writer Jean Louis Robert -- one of many non-English language resources at the University of South Florida Libraries, but the only in Reunionese Creole -- she is reminded of the vital role of her work as a cataloger not only in the accessibility of resources, but in the representation and documentation of history as it is written. Star Trek-related fanzines Indica Mattson, Rare Materials Cataloger at Cornell University, will discuss her approach to cataloging a collection of approximately 50 Star Trek-related fanzines produced between the 1960s and the 1990s. This presentation will explore the many cataloging quirks and oddities posed by these fan-made serials while examining how Homosaurus terms can be used to build upon gaps in LCSH regarding sexuality and fan culture.

(via Ashley Todd-Diaz, Towson University) Thank you to everyone who has participated in my survey thus far! If you haven't yet, I would like to invite you to consider participating in a short survey that focuses on the leadership emergence of librarians and archivists. Librarians and archivists share many professional values, priorities, and education. However, research has shown there are individual differences relating to these two groups' personality traits. Considering that libraries and archives are allied institutions, they often exist together in a larger organizational structure and may end up working alongside one another. The purpose of this study is to learn more about how librarians and archivists approach the idea of leadership and what types of support they have received to pursue leadership roles. Anyone over the age of 18 who identifies as a librarian and/or archivist is eligible to participate. If you decide to participate, you will be asked to answer approximately 50 questions, which should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The informed consent and survey are available at https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://towson.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_baaZfX7KhBbCKmG__;!!DZ3fjg!5guG5cDe4uAOHUdpl5Z6UpsoaiJiF8CfFFMAAIOR2RTfEEjlCmZw864-KK_zo2tb3Wb2SZ5_CkQah5hNh0tb2jzRh_g$ . Please do not put any information in your response that could be used to identify you. The survey will be live until Friday, December 15, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact the Principal Investigator, Ashley Todd-Diaz (atodddiaz at towson.edu). Thank you in advance for considering, Ashley Todd-Diaz, Towson University, Principal Investigator [A close-up of a coin Description automatically generated with medium confidence] Eric Edwards Interlibrary Loan Librarian Illinois State Library Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias 300 S. 2nd St., Springfield IL 62701-1796 217.558.1928 (o) [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] [Image] ?
