APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
 
Are you new to cataloguing rare books? The UK Bibliographic Standards
Committee of the CILIP Rare Books and Special Collections Group is holding a
cataloguing training session, using the cataloguing rules Descriptive
Cataloging of Rare Materials (Books) (DCRM(B)), on

Friday 9th December 2011, 10.00am - 4.00 p.m.

at

St John's College, Oxford (St Giles, Oxford, OX1 3JP)

The workshop is aimed at those who are considering adopting - or have
recently adopted - DCRM(B) from scratch, as well as new professionals who
would like to learn more about how to catalogue rare books. There will be an
introduction on bibliographic format, and the main focus of the day will be
on describing the content and implementation of DCRM(B), both general and
copy-specific elements. It is intended for those with some experience of
cataloguing, but not necessarily of rare books. A course prerequisite is
some knowledge of AACR2.

The price is £70.00 (including VAT) for CILIP Rare Books and Special
Collections Group members and £100.00 (including VAT) for non-members.
Attendees will need to make their own arrangements for lunch but tea and
coffee are provided.

To book a place, please contact Tanya Kirk at tanya.kirk at bl.uk
<mailto:tanya.kirk at bl.uk> , quoting your CILIP membership number (if
applicable), and stating to whom your invoice should be addressed.

We are also planning to run this course in Newcastle and possibly also
London in early 2012.

Subject: Iconography exhibition - Dunedin Public Library

Dear Colleagues:

'Why is the Virgin Mary's gown blue?' 'Does that snail in the manuscript's
margin mean anything?' 'Who are those figures standing by the Cross?'

These questions were all asked by a recent visiting (and very inquisitive)
school group. The latest Reed Gallery exhibition 'Signs & Symbols: Decoding
Mediaeval and Renaissance Iconography' hopes to shed some light on once
familiar icons, and reacquaint visitors with the images and hidden messages
of centuries past.

The exhibition includes over thirty-five items from thirteenth-century
Bibles to an early-twentieth-century facsimile of the Gutenberg Bible.
Christian iconography lies at the heart of the exhibition, with
supplementary cases on such subjects as colour, flora and fauna, and the
printer's device.

A digital version is available (where you may also download a PDF item
list):

http://www.dunedinlibraries.govt.nz/signs-and-symbols

This is the library's inaugural online exhibition. As such, I welcome
comments and suggestions on what we can do to tweak / improve the site for
future exhibitions.

Happy to post print copies of the item list upon request.

'Signs & Symbols: Decoding Mediaeval and Renaissance Iconography' runs until
22 January 2012. If travelling to New Zealand over the holidays, please do
call in.

Excuse cross-posting.

With best wishes,

Anthony
