Altered Books in UMBC’s Special Collections: When a Book Becomes a Canvas
The latest post on the Special Collections blog
We often think of books as sacrosanct – and as a librarian, I have to agree! Many people can't abide writing in, dog-earing, or otherwise defacing a book. But there are cases where changing the structure of a book can be a creative rather than a destructive endeavor. Enter the altered book.
What is an altered book? Altered books are "a form of mixed media artwork that changes a book from its original form into a different form," thereby changing both its functionality and its meaning. These alterations can be, according to book artist Barbara Pearman "as simple as adding a drawing or text to a page, or as complex as creating an intricate book sculpture." Over the past year, I have had the opportunity to catalog two altered books for Special Collections. While they were very different from one another, each presented a similar cataloging challenge, and a similar opportunity to reflect on the meaning of printed books.

Now Hiring: Summer Orientation Advisors (F-1 Eligible!)
Earn up to $100 per session. No experience required
Dear Graduate Students,
The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has openings available for Summer Orientation Advisors! Advisors meet with incoming undergraduate students VIRTUALLY during the months of June through August in one-on-one sessions to plan out and register for classes.

Advisors are eligible to be compensated at the rate of $100 per afternoon session and $50 per evening or morning session. Participants are also eligible to earn the Orientation Advisor microcredential! See more info here:
https://badges.umbc.edu/
Grad students on F-1 visas ARE eligible for this work and invited to apply!
We are online offering informational sessions for anyone interested or who even just MIGHT be interested in finding out about this exciting opportunity to expand their skillsets, make meaningful connections, serve their departments, and get paid! No RSVP necessary.
