Experience RBS
Thinking about taking a course at Rare Book School this year? I am! The 2012 course schedule is up, and there are so many to choose from. Our very own columnist, Joel Silver, of IU's Lilly Library is teaching a new course this year, Reference Sources for Researching Rare Books, which sounds fantastic. I took Alice Schreyer's Special Collections course several years ago, and it was life changing. RBS also has a certificate program now for those of us who can't get enough RBS. Speaking of which, have you seen this short video, filmed during last year's summer session?
