A comment in a recent IOBA email thread occasions an offer to all-
About 1-1/2 years ago, under the auspices of the IOBA, I hosted a ‘reference book familiarity’ seminar/workshop here at my shop–an opportunity for those in attendance to learn about such references* as the BAL, Sabin, Osborne, Field, NCBEL, Wing, &c, &c as well as a day to answer questions about researching & cataloguing rare books. A past issue of the IOBA STANDARD has a column on the day (see: http://www.ioba.org/newsletter/V6/seminar.html).
If there is sufficient interest, I’d be happy to do the same sometime soon, probably October, probably a weekend day. Just send me an email expressing interest, and advising when you’d be available [weekday, weekend, general dates (e.g. mid-October)].
* My reference library is closing in on 2000 volumes, & has at least the basic references in most major subject areas.
