With registration now open, the RBMS Workshops Committee is thrilled to invite you to sign up for one of the workshops that will be available this year in Bloomington, Indiana.<\/p>\n
This year, there are two half-day workshops and two full-day workshops. From practical\u2014finding the best job for you and creating your personal brand; and best practices for understanding and cataloging artists’ books\u2014to creative and hands-on: make an abecedarian (ABC) book to take home, or learn about underground collections and print your own broadside poster with a world-renowed master printer in the Indiana University Letterpress print shop!<\/p>\n

For marginalized and persecuted groups, underground publications\u2014in the form of virtually everything from mimeograph subscription newsletters and Xerox art to fanzines\u2014has long served as a safe conduit of communication that advantageously uses accessible methods of production. <\/span><\/p>\n The workshop is primarily intended for anyone responsible for the acquisition, description and\/or teaching with print materials that traditionally fall outside of the traditional, mainstream publications, such as zines, radical and underground press\/broadsides, fliers pamphlets, immigrant community newspapers and alternative student publications. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_padding=”0px|||||”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.26.6″]<\/p>\n The best part?<\/strong>: Can you say “get your hands dirty?” The workshop concludes with a hands-on print session\u2014led by a noted anti-establishment master printer\u2014using Indiana University Bloomington’s Vandercook presses, and participants will print keepsake posters for all conference attendees who want one!<\/p>\n Workshop Leaders: <\/strong>Agnieszka Czeblakow, Head of Research Services; Diane Dias [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_padding=”||0px|||”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.26.6″]<\/p>\n Artists’ books are notoriously difficult to catalog, due in part to the nature of their production and the complexity of materials and construction, and the uniqueness of each copy. This workshop will include an introduction to some of the common challenges for describing artists\u2019 books, discussion of different cataloging standards to apply and the decision-making process for when to apply what standard, discussion of considerations in developing local artists\u2019 book cataloging policies and workflows, and will provide hands-on examples and guidance for cataloging artists\u2019 books according to Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Materials (DCRM). The RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee endorsed this proposal in a vote at ALA Annual 2019.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/conference.rbms.info\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/The-Deep.jpg” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.26.6″ \/][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/conference.rbms.info\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/papertowelbook.jpg” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.26.6″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.26.6″]<\/p>\n The best part?<\/strong>: This workshop takes place in IU’s Wells Library, and attendees will work with materials from the world-famous IU Lilly Library!<\/p>\n Workshop Leaders<\/strong>: Ann Myers, Stanford University, Nina Schneider, Clark Library, UCLA; Whitney Buccicone, University of Virginia<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”3.26.6″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_margin=”-46px||-8px|||”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/conference.rbms.info\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2020\/02\/abecedarian-cartonera.jpg” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.26.6″ custom_margin=”-38px|||||” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.26.6″]<\/p>\n This workshop will provide attendees an opportunity to create an artist\u2019s book in order to frame their own experience as information professionals engaged with critical practices.<\/p>\n Attendees will receive a short lecture on the recent history of artist\u2019s books a vehicle for critical discussions of power.
