Lecture "Rare Books in the Digital Age," Feb. 16, 2012, 7pm in Steinberg Hall Auditorium

The WU Libraries invited you to:

Rare Books in the Digital Age Michael F. Suarez, S.J., Director of Rare Book School Thursday, February 16, 2012 Steinberg Hall Auditorium, 7:00pm This event is free & open to the public. A reception follows.

Michael Suarez is uniquely qualified to speak on the topic of Rare Books in the Digital World. He directs Rare Book School—an independent, non-profit institute for the study of books, printing, and related subjects—located at the University of Virginia (UVA), where he is University Professor, Honorary Curator of Special Collections, and Professor of English. He is editor-in-chief of Oxford Scholarly Editions Online, perhaps the largest digital humanities project extant today.

His most recent publication is The Oxford Companion to the Book (2010), a million-word reference work on the history of books and manuscripts, from the invention of writing to the present day. The London Telegraph called it “colossal” and “a paradise for book lovers;” and The Wall Street Journal praised it as “a fount of knowledge where the Internet is but a slot machine.” A Jesuit priest, he is co-general editor of The Collected Works of Gerard Manley Hopkins.

RSVP if you plan to attend. Email or call Joy Lowery, Director of Communications, Washington University Libraries, at jlowery@wustl.edu or 314-935-5418. Leave your name and the number of people in your party.
