For those who will be in the Northeast this month, the 4th International Book Conference will be happening Oct. 20-22 in Boston. There is an entire section on libraries, with a rather wild and fascinating scope of topics:
From Athens to the Monastery: The Contentious Relationship between Scholarship and the Library and its Books by Dr. Margaret Zeegers
Theorizing Libraries: The Conquest of Abundance by Anna Gold
Academic Relationships and the Future of the Library: The University of Alabama and the IMLS Fellowship by Mei Mendez
And then...the techies show up
What do Librarians Do: Facets of a Profession by JoAnna Berry and me.
And if you are tired of the librarian track, you can veer off into pirates, and who doesn't love a pirate?
Cheap Thrills: Bluebeard in Victorian Chapbooks by Dr. Casie Hermansson.
Here's the main page for the conference site:
