| contents | Seeing into Books: Lessons from Rare Book School Hendrickson, Lois G. History Books Library Education Special Libraries Professional Development Recently, the author spent a week at Rare Book School (RBS) immersed in a course entitled "Teaching the History of the Book;" an investigation into different ways of thinking about, designing, and conducting a course on the history of the book. The goal was to learn how to convert teaching and outreach experiences in rare book collections from a one-time "wow" into knowledge. An experience at Rare Book School is intellectually stimulating and challenging. It has been compared to summer camp, a place where one hangs out with people who care about and love the same things he/she does. The pace is intense and exhilarating. Over five weeks each summer, RBS offers a series of week-long concurrent courses. Instructors are recognized experts in their respective fields, which range from the history of book illustration and book bindings to paleography and descriptive bibliography. They, too, are eager to pass on knowledge to sustain the cultural legacy of the book. Rare Book School inspired the author to push the limits of her current understanding, allowed her to discover new truths as well as the means to continue to innovate in teaching the history of the book. |
