Do it by the Book - The Development and Manufacturing of Books in the Middle Ages
Get PDFThis paper discusses the book-making progress in the Middle Ages that was used across Europe. This process includes the making of paper, the making of the inks used, bookbinding, and how books were printed. Each is an important aspect of how early manuscripts were created. Without these processes, there would not be written documentation of early literature or music. This paper provides a deeper understanding of the work that was implemented into creating early books, and gives insight as to what the book-making process consisted of before the development of present-day technologies

Filling in the Gaps: A Diversity Audit Toolkit from Tredway Library
No full textIn the spring of 2021, the Tredway Library at Augustana College (Rock Island, IL) implemented an audit of the library\u27s print book collection to see if there were gaps in representation of the voices of authors of differing races/ ethnicities; genders; or sexual orientations. With the results of this audit, Augustana librarians now have a better understanding of which voices and perspectives are missing and/or underrepresented in the print collection. This toolkit is intended to assist other libraries / information organizations in undertaking similar diversity audits of their own.
The authors now have an article on this topic, available at: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0099133322000337. A preprint will be made available after the publisher\u27s embargo period.
