- Abstract
- Special collections librarianship is rapidly changing; new technologies, electronic reference services, and increased digitization of collections have profoundly affected all areas of special collections work. It has been noted that special collections have moved out of the 'treasure room' and into the 'school room,' as more emphasis is placed on drawing users into the library to use rare and unique materials. This bibliography assembles and evaluates special collections resources and highlights trends, standards, and accepted best practices within the field, specifically with regard to issues that have emerged from this newfound approach to special collections public services. To present a current view of special collections, the bibliography is limited to resources published between 2000 and 2010. Peer-reviewed articles, monographs, and official organizational guidelines (ALA, ACRL, RBMS) are included. Resources selected for annotation are arranged in four categories representing facets of special collections work: access, instruction, outreach/collection use, and professional development.
