Rachel Stein @rachelstein.bsky.social · 01/02/2024NEW Black Press in the U.S. Research Guide: libguides.tulane.edu/black_press/ with detailed section on *Louisiana Black Press.* Many resources behind paywalls, so check your library's database lists. Not the only such resource out there, but we hope it's of use! 120

Also, I've always loved the word melupum :) 2151
Reposted by Rachel SteinMichelle Margolis @mmargolis.bsky.social · 12/01/2024This is related to the imminent launch of a White Paper on Judaica Provenance providing guidance to libraries and book collections. We've been working for 3 years now to provide best practices for working with Judaic books and manuscripts in a field rife with complications. 042

Rachel Stein @rachelstein.bsky.social · 13/01/2024Would love to know what keeps more academics from organizing like this. It took the publisher being egregious and meddling with the editorial process—but trust, these publishers are being egregious in their pricing, and we normalize it. Why? 020

Rachel Stein @rachelstein.bsky.social · 09/12/2023Can the library explain why an error like this is happening? I’m super curious. It’s wild that all libraries are dealing with similar migration/discovery needs and yet the products available are so not great (or worse than not great) 120
