WELCOMING 2 NEW COLLEAGUES

Courtney Ohenzuwa: new LAIII on Autumn's team
Zoë McLaughlin: Area Studies & Accessibility Librarian with new secondary assignment in CMS

CATALOGING SHOW & TELL / ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tim
- He and Kathleen Weessies have devised a new collection: the Place Marketing Collection, in the Map Library
- He is taking on an informal collecting role with it and focusing on cataloging that material now
Janet
- Map realia: dozens of jigsaw puzzles of maps (one example: http://catalog.lib.msu.edu/record=b12907000~S39a)
- "Dissected US" maps: a 19th century term; maps pasted on wood & cardboard, cut up to use as teaching tools
- Containers typically include a piece count, but not other attributes like size, etc. So cataloging requires assembling the puzzles 😮
- Most puzzles are realia, but it turns out map puzzles are done on cartographic workforms
Lisa Robinson
- Lark Braten coming on as Metadata Management LAIV
Cathy & Tad
- Lockwood Romani item: The Romanichels, a lucubration / by Tringurushi Juvalomursh (record is a work in progress as of 11/8/18)
- One copy that Tad & Kate worked on bound with covers pasted with old Bible leaves; Tad was able to date leaves to 15th or 16th century
- However the piece itself was published in 1909, distributed by Gypsy Lore Society
- Later found a second copy, with inscription "the last book my mother read before she died" 😮
- Yet another copy with what appears to be a transcribed letter from the author with an explanation of author's pen name
- Tad: will involve some creative use of headings for binding, annotation, etc.
- Bible leaves on the first copy apparently from a Liverpool bindery that bound the piece; like they just had old Bible's laying around to use as scrap?
Joshua
- A DOAJ journal published by Fundación MenteClara and a NAR for that body: dedicated to the integration of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism and existential psychotherapy
