I do want to add - thanks to this course, my cataloging for the 1490 Mishneh Torah that Congressman Adam Schiff swore on a few days ago, was greatly enhanced thanks to @aarontpratt.bsky.social and the course he taught at @calrbs.bsky.social

CalRBS has two codes to this site available. Do you know of a book, library, academic, or professional organization that needs one? Would like to facilitate more organizational/society activity here!

When @sarahpyke.bsky.social and I put the #QueerBibliography CFP together last year, we could never have imagined that it'd become an annual event. Very excited for QB 2024 which will be hosted by @calrbs.bsky.social. (And for future events in other locations: 2025 and 2026 are already spoken for!)

UCLA CalRBS is pleased to announce that it will host the second iteration of the #QueerBibliography conference in a hybrid format between July 25-July 27, 2024. A call for papers is forthcoming. Sign up for the CalRBS email list at the link in bio to be the first to know! 📚 📜 #libraries

Turns out spending a week investigating the largest museum library system in the world is pure joy! 📜📚

I heard something about rare books, libraries, archives, and museums being kind of amazing! Happy to finally be here!
