\"50<\/a>The Archives & Rare Books Library announces a new monthly lunch-time series that will focus on one item from the collections to talk about its history and importance.\u00a0 Relaxed and informal, these presentations are set for one Thursday each month through the academic year, and will be held in the Schott Seminar Room, 814 Blegen Library at 12:00 noon.<\/p>\n

The first talk is on Thursday, January 27, and will feature ARB\u2019s anthropodermic binding (that is, human skin!).\u00a0 Find out how these bindings became curiosities of the book world, particularly in the 18th<\/sup> century; why most major research libraries have at least one example of the morbid things and how UC obtained its copy; and, the process involved in determining its authenticity. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Viewed as an enjoyable and casual opportunity to look at interesting books and collections, the \u201c50 Minutes \u2013 One Book\u201d approach reflects the traditional teaching hour \u2013 in at noon, out at 12:50 \u2013 and is open to students, faculty, and staff.\u00a0 Bring your lunch, order in some pizza, and get an inside view of some of UC\u2019s fascinating holdings.<\/p>\n

\"Anthropodermic<\/a>While the February topic has not yet been determined, March\u2019s talk will feature CCM Librarian Mark Palkovic, an international expert on miniature books, taking a look at the world\u2019s smallest book, a copy of which is in ARB (now where did we put it?\u00a0 It was just here a minute ago).\u00a0 We hope that faculty, grads, undergrads, and staff will want to offer talks as well about their research with specific volumes in the rare books collection.<\/p>\n
