Dear colleagues, I am forwarding a message originally posted on ATLA’s listserv. Many RAS libraries are members of the Association of Research Libraries but not all; and I assume that SSC libraries are not ARL members - please take a few minutes to respond to this survey.
Please contact Lynne Thomas directly for any questions ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>) as I am not involved in her research; she looks forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Rachel (ATLA-AJL liaison) Rachel Leket-Mor, MA, MLIS Curator, IsraPulp Collection Subject specialist, Religious Studies, Philosophy, Jewish Studies, Medieval and Renaissance Studies Arizona State University Libraries PO Box 871006 Tempe, AZ 85287-1006 Phone: 480-965-2618 Begin forwarded message: From: Lynne Thomas via atlantis <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [atlantis] Survey of Rare Books and Special Collections in Non-ARL Libraries Date: February 2, 2017 at 8:26:23 AM MST To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: Lynne Thomas <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: Atlantis Discussion List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Dear Colleagues, I’m working on building a list of libraries that work with rare books and special collections, but are not members of the Association for Research Libraries (ARL). ARL libraries are routinely surveyed and studied, and assumed to be representative of the field, simply because there is an actual list of libraries to work with. As a rare book librarian in a non-ARL library, I’m working to remedy this, so that our literature is inclusive of rare books and special collections in all kinds of libraries. I suspect that some of you (particularly thelogical seminaries with historical collections, for example) might fall into this category. The purpose of this list is, ultimately, to begin building an easily distributed, open access list of collections and libraries that are often overlooked in our professional literature—those without the resources of ARL libraries, who are still working in the special collections field in some capacity. This list will be made accessible to anyone who wants to research how non-ARL libraries function within our profession.
