Summer Exhibit in Green Showcases Fine Bookbinding
This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Hand Bookbinders of California, a robust organization with membership open to anyone, anywhere in the world, with a passion for the binder’s craft.
Hospitality for the annual, unjuried members’ exhibit rotates among libraries, bibliophilic organizations, and rare book dealers. Stanford was chosen as the venue this year in part because of our strong collection of fine French bindings.

Goodbye AACR2, Welcome RDA
The Library of Congress (LC) announced that on March 31, 2013 it will transition all of its cataloging to RDA (Resource Description and Access). RDA is the new cataloging code that libraries are preparing to adopt as a replacement for AACR (Anglo-American Cataloging Rules), a long overdue evolution as AACR has been in use for the past 45 years and is out of touch with current data management needs.
