Afternoon session will be held at the Alliance Française de Chicago.
What is the role of rare books and special collections libraries in a digital age? The term "rare" suggests costly and inaccessible, but symposium participants assert that research materials in specialized libraries are important to the preservation and development of our common intellectual heritage, and, as such, are of enduring public value and use. What will collectors and collections look like and where will rare books stand in a hierarchy of public priorities for the still-new twenty-first century?
The Symposium is free, but seating is limited so advance registration is required. Please print and submit the form from the Caxton Club website. - Añadido Por
