Hello again, everyone. This afternoon's bush-beating is already reaping
tremendous rewards, but also merits a qualification. As you'll see in the
original call for submissions, the Spring 2016 issue of *RBM *is a special
topic issue on "the digital and/or/vs. the physical". All submissions,
regardless of format, should speak to that theme.

Thanks again, and keep 'em coming!

--Jennifer

>> As some of you may know, Spring 2016 is the 30th anniversary of *RBM: A

>>
>>    The idea for this issue came out of the editorial board’s desire to
>>    support a more open-access model for the online version of the journal,
>>    while still staying true to our roots in the physical material. Therefore,
>>    we’d like to make this a special theme issue, and we’re actively soliciting
>>    submissions on the broadly-defined topic of “the digital vs. the physical”.
>>    -
>>
>>    We’ll be sending out this call for submissions to all of the allied

>>    rare books, manuscripts, archives, museums…and YOU!
>>    -

>>       The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2015.

>>       new, and make it thought-provoking.

>>    To supplement the print version, and to continue playing with the
>>    “digital vs. print” theme, we will consider selecting additional submitted
>>    content for the web page of the journal.
>>
>> Let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be at both the RBMS
>> Conference and ALA Annual later this month, if you want to track me down
>> in-person.

>> I hope everyone will find this as exciting as I do!
