Some of you have noticed that #SHARP2024 started: "Global Book Cultures: Materialities, Collaborations, Access". And like a good historians that I aim to be, I searched for the early uses of the hashtag #globalbookhistory. Well, the (first?) appearance was on Twitter in April 2020. #bookhistory #histodons

Moved to a server that made more sense. re- #introductions !

I am an Assistant Professor of #InformationStudies #iSchool at #UCLA. I am also director of California Rare Book School (calrbs.org), a continuing education program for #librarians, #rarebook enthusiasts, and people interested in #museums. I work a great deal internationally and am a #Fulbright specialist that works with libraries, museums, and archives in Kosovo.

Some research and teaching interests include: #bookhistory #bibliography #libraries #internationallibrarianship #specialcollections #rarebooks #finepress #printingpress #ucla #publishing #literacy #classification #knowledgeorganization #ko #biodiversity #pedagogy #teaching #academia #writing #travel #traveling

Outside of the that, I love to #cook, #barbecue, watch reality television, raise my #AustralianShepherd, etc. I am also a letterpress printer and enjoy making all sorts of #books.
