[Sfts-faculty] Klein Librarian Update February 2023

[Phoenix Alexander]

Dear all,

I hope you're doing well!

No acquisitions yet this month in anticipation of the California International Antiquarian Book Fair taking place February 10-12th in Pasadena, which I'll be attending, so more news soon...

That said, I have a few pieces of exciting news to share:

  *   The first exhibit in our 'Power of Language' series is now installed on the fourth floor of the Rivera Library, so do come and check it out between 10am-4pm when we're open!

  *
You can also see an exhibit case of new Eaton purchases located to the left of the SCUA reference desk, curated by yours truly.

  *   Finally: if you're interested in comics and graphic novels, make sure you sign up for an online presentation with me, Processing Archivist Andrew Lippert, and SDSU's Comic Arts Curator Pamela Jackson on February 14th. We'll be showcasing new items and talking about collecting directions in the field. What better way to spend Valentine's Day?

Warmth and light,

Phoenix
