In October our colleagues in Technical Services and Cataloging added 373 items to Special Collections holdings. There were a few items from the backlog that went into ACU Authors and ACU Archives collections, and only a few went into the general rare books collection. However, about three dozen new items (and a few second copies) fed into the Taylor hymnal collection. Many bound and unbound periodical titles, some of them totally new to us, and other second copies, were also added. The remainder were much-needed monographs and tracts for the REST collection both new to us and second copies. Notice the several Spanish-language titles this month. There were a few in previous months. Language variants (often translations of works published in English) are always needed for the collection. Please be on the lookout for these. Help build the collection in this area.

Our goal is to build a comprehensive research-level collection of print materials by, for, and about the Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement. But beyond assembly and preservation, a collection should be discoverable by those who need the information. Collecting and preserving is only part of our task; those objects must be described and made available. Thanks to the close and careful work of our colleagues upstairs, who describe our holdings, these materials are now discoverable. By discoverable I mean a patron can utilize our online catalog (such as by searching by author, or title, or subject) to find these materials.
